Project description

Biodiversity loss and climate change specifically affect women in developing countries. International law recognizes the role of women in biodiversity conservation. However, implementation is lacking. The research starts from the hypothesis that this lack is a result of the "soft law" character of international provisions. This hypothesis will be tested through an analysis of international legal documents.
