THE ENVIRONMENT & GENDER INDEX -
EGI - MONITORS GOVERNMENT PROGRESS
TOWARD GENDER EQUALITY & WOMEN'S
EMPOWERMENT IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL AREA
The EGI provides the first quantitative data on governments’ performance translating the gender and environment mandates in the three Rio Conventions and CEDAW into national policy and planning. The resulting information will help policymakers, civil society, and others evaluate progress and identify where the gaps lie in achieving gender equality in the environmental context. The Environment and Gender Index (EGI) brings together variables that measure environment and gender in a composite index. The EGI ranks and scores 72 countries worldwide along 27 dimensions divided into six categories: Livelihood, Ecosystem, Gender-based Rights & Participation, Governance, Gender-based Education and Assets, and Country-Reported Activities.
