Abstract
Climate justice is increasingly accepted as a core value of climate action. However, the impact of mainstream responses to climate change has been uneven. Inaction and the securitising of spaces, for example, have led to maladaptive and technocratic responses that further entrench climate injustices. There are, however, alternatives. In urban areas, feminist thought has helped explore the interactions between physical and social infrastructures and the ecosystems that support them. A feminist city is one that recognises the actual lives of urban residents and their needs. What does the feminist city offer in the climate emergency? In the face of inaction and exclusion, insurgent planning for the feminist city may help develop alternatives that challenge existing drivers of inequality and vulnerability. The feminist city questions three areas entangled in the quest for urban climate justice: differential vulnerabilities, epistemic injustices and the temporalities of action and social change.
