Regional Mapping of Feminist Climate Justice Work

The Design Team and members of the Coordination Team are engaged in an exercise to map regional case studies of feminist climate justice work.

The mapping collects twenty-one regional case studies of inspiring people, collectives, organizations, movements, and networks from which FLAC can learn. The case studies are located in the Global South and East and in the regions of the Global North inhabited by Indigenous and Afro-descendant peoples.

The main purpose of the regional mapping is to allow FLAC to understand what is actually happening on the feminist climate justice landscape in every region by engaging primarily with the perspectives and experience of the Design Team. With this mapping, we hope to amplify and collectively build our understanding and definition of diversity within feminist climate justice work across regions. 

As part of the Design Team Workshop in Tbilisi, Georgia, we will identify similarities, differences, gaps, contradictions, and complementarities among these cases. We will look at the thematics and issues that cross them, the biggest challenges that block these initiatives from growing their collective power, and the type of narratives and visions that people are coming up with to achieve a feminist climate-just future. 

The Regional Mapping allows FLAC and the Design Team to amplify our collective understanding of feminist climate justice work from a place of flexibility based on ground realities, different scales, and critical regional analysis. As we synthesize the first outcomes of the Regional Mapping in Tbilisi, we will start to articulate what feminist climate justice means for FLAC and start answering the question, who do we want to resource?
