Chang ing weather patterns and rising sea levels caused by the climate crisis ar e threatening the very existence of islands across the globe. These impact s are also felt on the island nations of the Dutch Kingdom. Earlier this y ear, judges in The Hague sided with the residents of Bonaire and Greenpeac e in a landmark case against the Dutch government, which argued for the fa ir protection of the islanders against the impacts of the climate crisis. Still, little attention is being paid to the differences among the island communities. Women worldwide are disproportionately affected by the climat e crisis. Yet, the voices of these women are rarely considered when it com es to decision-making processes around climate action. In the lead up to t he annual UN climate summit, we will discuss critical feminist perspective s on the climate crisis, specifically in relation to the Caribbean islands . What does a feminist perspective on climate justice in the islands look like? Why is it important to use a gendered lens when talking about climat e justice? And how can Dutch MP’s insert these perspectives into the conve rsations held at the annual UN climate summit in Antalya this November?
