The book, Climate Technology, Gender, and Justice: The Standpoint of the Vulnerable, authored by Tina Sikka and published by Springer in 2019 as part of the SpringerBriefs in Sociology series, aims to offer a unique perspective on the critical interconnections between the traditionally “silo-ized” categories of gender, climate science, and climate technologies. The book’s primary objective is to critically assess the science, modeling, symbolism, and discourse surrounding climate interventions. It uses climate geoengineering as its primary case study, with a specific focus on the controversial Solar Radiation Management (SRM) technique, particularly the deployment of stratospheric sulfate aerosols, to facilitate a deep investigation and evaluation. The central thesis posits that key feminist tenets—such as diversity, pluralism, and situated knowledge—pose significant challenges to aggressive solutions to climate change, including climate geoengineering itself.
