Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: There is much focus at the organizational level on the importance of a link between women and the environment, yet little empirical research has been done which examines cross-national variation in environmental protection efforts in the context of gender, particularly women’s status and its effects on decision outcomes such as protection of land area. Hypotheses derived from ecofeminism and empirical literature of gendered differences in individual-level attitudes and behaviors are tested using multiple regression models with a cross-national sample of up to 168 nations. I find no support for broader ecofeminist claims that the overall oppression of women and environmental degradation are linked by a common source. I find strong support for the idea that gendered differences in proenvironmental attitudes and behaviors can be seen at the national level where women’s political status in government is increasing. I also find little evidence of a world polity connection’s influence on nation-state efforts to protect land area.
