Abstract
In assessing the direct and indirect environmental footprint of humanitarian settings, it has been observed that such consequences are simultaneously either short-term or long-term and local and global in their extent (Groupe, 2020). This paper seeks to tailor feminist monitoring and evaluation with greening synergies. Pertaining to such premises, the paper problematizes whether humanitarian responses riddled with environmental impacts have gendered consequences. Can ecologically sensitive humanitarian responses entail gender-inclusive response systems in the humanitarian ecosystem? The paper concludes that given the climate change and gender nexus to climate justice, the embedding of this nexus in the approach adopted for humanitarian action and response systems requires the internalizing of intersectional feminism within North-South collaborative humanitarian actions (Human Rights Watch, 2021) . The paper further explores whether humanitarian responses in this context can go further than intersectional feminism to gender transformative programming and monitoring approaches.
