GENDER INCLUSION, EQUALITY??????

 

Global Sustainable Development Report, 2015 Edition

 

Following the approach piloted for the preparation of the Prototype and the mandate given at Rio+20, the general approach to the 2015 edition of the GSDR report will be that of an assessment of assessments, documenting and describing the landscape of information on specific issues. The report will be global in coverage while taking into account the perspectives of the five UN regions. Extensive inputs will be sought from the UN system, government officials and stakeholders at all levels, including representatives of academies of sciences, of key international assessments, and relevant UN expert groups.

THE ONLY SPECIFIC REFERENCE TO GENDER EQUALITY & EMPOWERMENT OF WOMEN – Page 140

 

7.3.5. Gender equality and empowerment of women

In relation to gender equality and empowerment of

women, the briefs touched on the dimension of natural

resource management, for instance highlighting the

imperative of seeing the role of women in water

management beyond domestic uses and training and

building the capacity of women so that they can have more

active leadership roles in water management systems.564 In

the area of energy, there is a similar need to increase the

percentage of women holding a leadership or management

position in the sector.565
