SCHMIDT, Luísa    GOMES, Carla. Women and the environment: a crucial relation for the sustainability transition. []. , 44, pp.65-87.   31--2020. ISSN 0874-6885.  https://doi.org/10.34619/repv-da85.

In the last half century, the relationship between women and the environment has proved to be crucial. From caregiver to agent of change, at the forefront of sustainability and climate justice, the female voice still needs full recognition in the context of environmental governance. In this article, we discuss studies that have analysed gender issues in the context of environmental problems and policies, both in developed and developing countries, with an emphasis on the Portuguese case, for which we present data from some recent surveys. We conclude with the analysis of some key issues and clues for further research.
