Debates on Sustainable Development: Personal Insights from a Feminist Political Ecology Approach

The article is a personal reflection about the politics of sustainable development in global negotiating<br/>processes and what feminist theory and practice can bring to those processes. I first reflect on my experience as<br/>an advocate for gender and environment when the sustainable development debate first emerged at the UNCED<br/>Earth Summit in 1992. I then suggest how feminist political ecology in theory and practice can provide insights<br/>into how to reshape the sustainable development agenda by embracing the politics of care and commoning.
