Abstract
This chapter examines climate-induced migration discourses in the EU from a gender perspective by analyzing policy documents released by the main EU institutions: the EU Commission, the EU Parliament, and the Council. It does so through a document-based analysis of policy documents collected from the early 2000s to 2024. The main goal is to see whether the adoption of the New Pact on Migration and Asylum in September 2020 has resulted in increased attention to climate-induced migration, whether there is room for a gender dimension, and if it has legal implications. The chapter shows that although climate change is considered among the most important challenges the EU has to deal with, it remains a marginal issue within EU policies with little engagement with gender. In particular, gender-related issues within climate-induced migration discourse seem substantially overlooked despite the gender mainstreaming ontology being invoked in numerous policy documents.
