This chapter provides an interpretative synthesis of the case studies developed in previous chapters, offering a transdisciplinary perspective. These include Guatemala, where Mayan women are affected by droughts and floods; Peru, where Quechua women are affected by glacial retreat and Brazil, where Indigenous and Quilombola women are affected by Amazonian deforestation. Through dialogue between political ecology, intersectional feminism and the sociology of development, the chapter reveals regional patterns of female resilience in Latin America. By interweaving intersectional vulnerabilities of gender, ethnicity and class with adaptive strategies emerging from these regions, the chapter provides a critical analysis revealing how climate change reproduces structural inequities of colonial origin, while also offering opportunities for transformative agency. Drawing inspiration from the decolonial epistemologies of Arturo Escobar and the ecofeminist critiques of Vandana Shiva, the text identifies convergences in systemic discrimination and opportunities for designing inclusive public policies that integrate ancestral knowledge. This interpretation contributes to contemporary debates on climate justice by providing analytical frameworks that link local and global dynamics. Thus, it highlights the pivotal role of women in fostering equitable and sustainable resilience. Ultimately, the text advocates transdisciplinary collaborations that can bridge the persistent gaps in regional environmental governance and project fairer, more inclusive futures in the face of the ecological crisis.

摘要

This chapter provides an interpretative synthesis of the case studies developed in previous chapters, offering a transdisciplinary perspective. These include Guatemala, where Mayan women are affected by droughts and floods; Peru, where Quechua women are affected by glacial retreat and Brazil, where Indigenous and Quilombola women are affected by Amazonian deforestation. Through dialogue between political ecology, intersectional feminism and the sociology of development, the chapter reveals regional patterns of female resilience in Latin America. By interweaving intersectional vulnerabilities of gender, ethnicity and class with adaptive strategies emerging from these regions, the chapter provides a critical analysis revealing how climate change reproduces structural inequities of colonial origin, while also offering opportunities for transformative agency. Drawing inspiration from the decolonial epistemologies of Arturo Escobar and the ecofeminist critiques of Vandana Shiva, the text identifies convergences in systemic discrimination and opportunities for designing inclusive public policies that integrate ancestral knowledge. This interpretation contributes to contemporary debates on climate justice by providing analytical frameworks that link local and global dynamics. Thus, it highlights the pivotal role of women in fostering equitable and sustainable resilience. Ultimately, the text advocates transdisciplinary collaborations that can bridge the persistent gaps in regional environmental governance and project fairer, more inclusive futures in the face of the ecological crisis.
