GENDER and Sustainable Development Wednesday, 9 December 2015

In every region of the world, women and men have unique relationships with, dependencies upon, and expertise regarding their environments. Gender equality has been recognized as a critical crosscutting issue in major multilateral environmental agreements for more than 20 years. In 1992, Agenda 21 set the stage, noting in Chapter 24: “Women have considerable knowledge and experience in managing and conserving natural resources.” flickr.com-photos-cifor

Preamble: “Recognizing also the vital role that women play in the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity and affirming the need for the full participation of women at all levels of policy-making and implementation for biological diversity conservation,” Convention on Biological Diversity flickr.com-photos-cifor Prologue: “Stressing the important role played by women in regions affected by desertification and/or drought, particularly in rural areas of developing countries, and the importance of ensuring the full participation of both men and women at all levels in programmes to combat desertification and mitigate the effects of drought.” United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification

“Poverty and inequality shape women’s and men’s vulnerability to disaster and the impacts of climate change, and their capacity to cope and recover in the post-disaster period. Since women and men are affected differently by disaster and climate change, their different vulnerabilities and capacities must be analysed, and their gender-specific concerns and priorities addressed.” ~ Oxfam 2010

During the 1991 cyclone disaster in Bangladesh, 90% of the 14,000 fatalities were women (Ikeda, 1995) Women, boys and girls are more than 14 times more likely than men to die during disasters (Peterson, 2007) The majority of victims in Hurricane Katrina were African- American women and their children, a group likely to be poor, lack health care and earn low wages (Gault et al, 2005; Williams et al, 2006) Statistics on Gender, Disasters and Climate Change (UNDP 2010)

Le Devoir, Nayla Naoufl, 1/12/ environnement/456704/les-femmes-a-l-avant-plan Les conséquences des changements climatiques sont tributaires du groupe social: « En raison du genre, du statut socio-économique, de l’ethnicité ou de l’âge, certains groupes sont plus vulnérables, notamment parce qu’ils n’ont pas la même capacité d’action et d’adaptation. C’est notamment le cas des femmes. » Annie Rochette- Professeure au Département des sciences juridiques à l’UQAM et responsable de la recherche L’intégration du genre dans la lutte aux changements climatiques au Québec, réalisée en partenariat avec le Réseau des Femmes en Environnement. flickr.com/photos/dfid

« Les femmes sont beaucoup plus affectées que les hommes par ces catastrophes naturelles. » -Annie Rochette Par exemple, la canicule en France en 2003 a ainsi entraîné le décès de 9510 femmes et de 5292 hommes.

This additional yield could reduce the number of undernourished people in the world by: =climate-impacts- people&subtheme=gender

Worldwide about 925 million people are undernourished, with women accounting for a high proportion of the chronically hungry If the gender gap closes in agriculture, how many people could be lifted out of hunger? flickr.com/photos/ciat
