"There is now plenty of research that shows clear negative impacts of some men's behavior on the environment and climate. What is astonishing is how this aspect does not figure in most debate and policy in a more sustainable world."
"Men consume more meat than women and are leaders of the animal-industrial complex. Meat consumption remains part of hegemonic masculinity across many contexts."
"Men tend to have less concern with climate change, less willingness to change their everyday practices to fix it."
Research indicates that men contribute more to environmental degradation than women, primarily through higher carbon footprints linked to travel, transportation, and meat consumption. Men generally show less concern for climate change and are less inclined to alter their behaviors to mitigate its effects. Activities traditionally associated with masculinity, such as hunting and fishing, also have detrimental impacts on the environment. The study emphasizes the need for these factors to be included in discussions about sustainability and climate policy.
