Abstract
Recent policy deliberations have been marked by an increase in advocacy for mainstreaming social justice concerns into institutions related to global environmental governance. Particularly in light of the welldocumented gender and environment nexus, arguments in favour of mainstreaming gender into climate policy have gained considerable currency, resulting in some institutional changes in terms of how civil society participates in climate-related policy negotiations. This chapter addresses the terrain on which arguments for greater inclusion are made and highlights specific policy discussions that illustrate both the opportunities and the challenges for stakeholders who are interested in shaping policy outcomes.
