Our 1st international call of 2026 started off with a good presentation on recently published research. The chapter titled Climate change policies and gender equity What are the views of women who work in construction? focuses on the constructions sector and their role in climate change policy, particular from the views of women working with the tools. The researches, Dr. Coralie Guedes and Dr. Vivian Price shared the findings from interviewing 16 North American union tradeswomen and how conversations of climate change show up on the job site. They also shared how these conversations can help organize more women into working out in the field and making pathways for women to enter into the trades.

The open source book Feminist Climate Policy in Industrialised States A Gender-Just Climate Emergency Response explores the importance of having women to be part of the decision-making, policy-making and community organizing process.
