Gobernanza climática con perspectiva de género en Río Negro: Hidrógeno verde como construcción de políticas públicas que abordan el cambio climático con una visión inclusiva”.

Abstract

Traditionally, climate has been regarded as a shaper of the natural environment and a determining factor in the constitution of a “permanent” type of environment. Currently, the global processes of anthropogenic climate change are irrefutable, and the province of Río Negro is not exempt from their effects. This work presents a series of theoretical reflections and practical developments regarding the most relevant causes and consequences related to the concept of climate governance with a gender perspective in the province of Río Negro. It includes an analysis of the main challenges related to the implementation of gender-responsive environmental policies, as well as a deeper exploration of the "Green Hydrogen Strategic Plan" as an example of public policy development addressing climate change from an inclusive perspective. The methodology employed, qualitative in nature, aims to address the challenges involved in constructing climate governance in the province of Río Negro within the framework of gender-responsive public policies. Both the review of the state of the art and the theoretical deepening of key concepts—such as climate governance, climate change, gender, clean energy, and green hydrogen—together with the perspectives of key stakeholders, contribute to the article’s conceptual framework and provide support for the proposal and for potential initiatives. These initiatives are envisioned over a medium- and long-term horizon to promote climate governance with a gender perspective in the territory under study.
