It discusses theoretical considerations such as the concept of power dynamics in feminist political ecology, the potential of the livelihood and intersectionality approaches in GEC, and the relationship between resilience theories and critical feminist research. It also comments on insights from empirical papers and methodological advances stemming from qualitative, mixed method, and intersectional approaches.
In future work involving GEC, it is imperative that women and other marginalised voices are represented. There must also be an understanding of the scale at which concepts like resilience are defined in policy. Furthermore, utilising more intersectional approaches in adaptation and resilience challenges while avoiding generalisations of marginalised populations is essential.
Future research on GEC should also explore other intersectional areas like race, sexuality, and ability/disability.
