The main goal of this special issue "Gender perspectives in resilience, vulnerability and adaptation to global environmental change" is to offer a room for interdisciplinary and engaged research in global environmental change (GEC), where gender plays a key role in building resilience and adaptation pathways. This special issue consist of 13 papers; the editorial paper explains the background setting, key questions and core approaches of gender and feminist research in vulnerability, resilience and adaptation to GEC. Nine empirical papers from around the globe allow to understand how gendered diversity in knowledge, institutions and everyday practices matters in producing barriers and options for achieving resilience and adaptive capacity in societies. Additionally, two papers contribute to the theoretical debate through a systematic review and an insight on the relevance of intersectional framings within GEC research and development programming.
