Étude sur les liens entre inégalité entre les sexes et changement climatique en Chine
No full textLa Chine est le premier contributeur mondial aux émissions de gaz à effet de serre et l’un des pays les plus vulnérables au changement climatique. Pourtant, la vulnérabilité sociale au changement climatique est encore mal comprise. En particulier, les études relatives au genre sont presque absentes du débat sur le changement climatique. Au niveau scientifique, des efforts très limités ont été déployés pour étudier la pertinence des différences entre les sexes en matière d’efforts d’adaptation et d’atténuation. Ce chapitre vise à contribuer à combler cette lacune en fournissant une analyse des conditions structurelles de l’inégalité entre les sexes qui affecte le pays aujourd’hui et en soulignant leur lien étroit avec la vulnérabilité sociale au changement climatique. Les résultats indiquent que la féminisation du travail, l’inégalité d’accès aux ressources, l’inégalité d’accès à la prise de décisions et les normes « sexospécifiques » traditionnelles peuvent jouer un rôle important dans la capacité des femmes à faire face au changement climatique en Chine
Chinese Women at the Forefront of Environmental Activism: Wang Yongchen, Liao Xiaoyi and Tian Guirong.
Full text linkAll around the world, women have been at the forefront of environmental activism.
In the Western world, very little is known about China’s environmental movement and its
champions. This paper aims to bridge this gap. It does so by tracing the path to activism of three
female figures: Wang Yongchen, Liao Xiaoyi and Tian Guirong. For each of the three, I first
introduce the main environmental campaigns and I then sketch out a profile of the activist,
shedding light on their personal motivations, the rhetorical strategies they employ to spur
collective action, and their vision for a greener China. The paper has a twofold result: it not
only provides the reader with the elements to understand the country’s struggle for
sustainability, it also sheds lights on the different manifestations of environmental activism
“made in China”. Findings draw mainly from the analysis of secondary sources (books,
academic papers, newspaper articles) and to a lesser extent, from first hand interviews carried
out by the author between July and December 2013

Una prospettiva di genere sui cambiamenti climatici. Vulnerabilità e adattamento, discorso internazionale e gender mainstreaming
Full text linkLa dimensione di genere dei cambiamenti climatici è un tema di grande interesse e urgenza. Questo saggio si propone di offrire un quadro generale del nesso tra genere e cambiamenti climatici. Esso identifica le più rilevanti variabili che determinano la maggiore vulnerabilità delle donne nelle circostanze ambientali avverse e presenta gli orientamenti elaborati a livello internazionale per favorire le capacità di adattamento. Nella parte conclusiva l’autrice discute alcuni dei limiti e degli orientamenti controversi sul piano teorico e pratico di questo campo di studi.The gender dimension of climate change is an issue of considerable interest and urgency. This paper aims at providing a general overview of the relationship between climate change and gender.
We identify major variables determining a greater vulnerability for women during adverse environmental circumstances, and introduce main approaches elaborated at the international level to enhance coping and adaptation capacities. In the conclusive section, some of the limits and controversial theoretical and practical approaches characterizing the field are discussed
Évolution institutionnelle du développement urbain durable en Chine
Full text linkAu cours de la dernière décennie, le concept de développement durable a pris une importance croissante au regard du développement urbain de la Chine. La Chine urbaine ou en cours d’urbanisation catalyse non seulement un grand nombre des questions de durabilité qui se posent au pays, mais constitue aussi le locus où les nouveaux arrangements institutionnels du développement durable sont testés et mis en oeuvre. Cet article explore les nouveaux paradigmes de la gestion territoriale intégrée dans les zones où les problèmes de pollution de l’eau se heurtent aux objectifs de rénovation urbaine. L’analyse se concentre sur le cas du bassin du lac Lihu, situé dans la ville de Wuxi (province du Jiangsu) considéré par de nombreux observateurs comme étant à la pointe des efforts de la Chine en matière de développement urbain durable. À Lihu l’intégration de la gestion environnementale à la planification urbaine a conduit à la création d’un nouveau champ organisationnel axé autour de la question du développement durable des zones urbaines et caractérisé par des aspects réglementaires, normatifs et cognitifs spécifiques. Cas emblématique de gestion territoriale intégrée, l’expérience du bassin du lac Lihu met en évidence le défi posé par un développement social inclusif dans les zones urbaines
Institutional change in China’s sustainable urban development. A case study on urban renewal and water environmental management
Full text linkOver the past decade, the concept of sustainable development has gained increasing importance within China's urban development. Urban(ising) China not only catalyses many of the country' sustainability issues, but also constitutes the locus where novel institutional arrangements for sustainable development are tested and implemented. This paper explores new paradigms of integrated territorial management unfolding in areas where concerns of water pollution intersect with objectives of urban renewal. The analysis focuses on the case of the Lihu Lake basin, located in the city of Wuxi (Jiangsu Province), considered by many observers to be at the forefront in China's quest for sustainable urban development. In Lihu the integration of environmental management with urban planning has led to the creation of a new organisational field, revolving around the issue of sustainable development of urban areas, with distinctive regulatory, normative, and cognitive aspects. While epitomising a case of integrated territorial management, the experience of Lihu Lake basin highlights the challenge of fostering inclusive social development in urban areas
Capitale sociale e adattamento ai cambiamenti climatici in Cina. Un’analisi della letteratura recente in lingua cinese.
No full textAs the most populated country located in one of the most vulnerable areas of the planet, China is highly exposed to the threats posed by climate change (CC), due to its peculiar social, economic and environmental characteristics. The effectiveness of adaptation measures can be enhanced by fully employing the potential of social capital’s research. This article is concerned with the role attributed to social capital and its role in fostering CC adaptation in rural China in the Chinese scientific literature. The paper is aimed at carrying out a review of recent CC adaptation assessment systems on Chinese journals published in Chinese language in 2018, and available in the CNKI database
