This is a well-rounded course for anyone interested in studying the linkages between gender and environment. The course identifies gender and how different extreme weather events, climatic changes increase gender disparities. It further outline different important international local initiatives on gender and environment.

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of the intersection between gender and environmental issues, highlighting important challenges and solutions. The content is well-structured and informative, with relevant case studies that make complex topics accessible. It effectively raises awareness on how gender impacts climate change and environmental policies. However, some modules could benefit from more interactive elements to enhance engagement.

Informative and worth taking. One of the course's strengths was its focus on environmental justice, particularly in the context of marginalized communities. It sheds light on how certain gender-related disparities, such as access to resources or decision-making power, exacerbate environmental injustices. The course exposed me to a global perspective on gender and environmental issues. It covered a wide range of topics, from climate change and biodiversity loss to eco-feminism and women's roles in sustainable development. This comprehensive approach enabled me to appreciate the worldwide implications of these issues.
