In Europe, climate change has largely been governed through the logic of ecological modernisation with a preference for market and growth mechanisms, efficiency, technical solutions and innovation. This has several gender effects: it has maintained the exclusion of women from climate governance; and led to the invisibility of gender and a denied dependency on social reproduction and nature. This chapter develops this critique. Based on the transformative scholarship of ecological feminism, the chapter sketches an alternative climate governance rationality to address what is needed to change the norms of the climate change governance agenda to become more just, equitable and equal. By introducing the notion of emphatic rationality, it argues for an alternative based on a rationality of policymaking grounded in care through responsiveness, empathy and solidarity with others. This alternative governance practice is explained and illustrated in some detail with concrete options for policymakers.
