“…It highlights that integrating gender perspectives and ensuring women's active participation are crucial for effective environmental policies and sustainable development. 96 Additionally, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Decision 23/CP.18 (2012): Promoting gender balance and improving the participation of women in UNFCCC negotiations and in the representation of Parties in bodies established pursuant to the Convention or the Kyoto Protocol. 97 The recent decision highlights the importance of having a balanced representation of both genders in the UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol bodies.…”

The idea of “sustainable development” was first recognized in 1972 at the U.N. Conference on the Human Environment held in Stockholm. The Conference did not make reference to the concept explicitly but recognized that the concepts of “sustainability” and “development” that were previously addressed separately could be addressed together to create more benefits. The Conference recognised the importance of environmental management for the purposes of sustainable development. In the years that followed the 1972 conference, terms such as “environment and development,” “development without destruction,” “eco-development,” and “environmentally sound development” became common in publications and the works of the United Nations. This article examines the international legal framework on sustainable development and evaluates the extent to which these laws ensure environmentally sustainable development. The article argues that although the legal framework on environmentally sustainable development is quite extensive and steps are being made to engender them, there is still need to move beyond formal equality and substantive equality to transformative equality. The paper draws on feminist perspectives and calls for engendering the legal framework so as to make environmental sustainability a reality.

“…The new stand-alone goal is a substantial improvement on Millennium Development Goal 3; by addressing major gender gaps such as violence against women and women unpaid work, some expected it to be transformative (Rosche 2016). Additionally, the 2030 Agenda made advancing women's rights a key tenet that cuts across all other goals, for instance on health and education, building here on commitments and norms set out in the Beijing Platform for Action and earlier landmark frameworks, including the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (Azcona and Bhatt 2020;Fukuda-Parr 2016).…”

“…However, the causal role of the Sustainable Development Goals in such progress is unclear. Some studies also argue that the lack of gender-specific indicators in the global monitoring of the goals hampers the study of their impact on the inclusiveness of women and girls (Azcona and Bhatt 2020).…”

Inclusiveness within and among countries is one of the most pronounced overarching aims of the 2030 Agenda. Yet have these aims been realized? To what extent has the pursuit of the Sustainable Development Goals led to more inclusiveness? We explore these questions in this chapter.The 2030 Agenda needs to face a global economic system characterized by extreme inequalities. Some 735 million people live in extreme poverty on less than USD 1.90 a day (Oxfam 2020), and the world's billionaires alone have amassed more wealth than the poorest 4.6 billion people who make up 60 per cent of humankind. The COVID-19 pandemic might have pushed 119-124 million people back into poverty after prolonged unemployment or underemployment (United Nations 2021). Basic rights such as access to food, education or energy are often denied as well. In 2019, about 820 million people À more than 10 per cent of humanity À suffered from food and dietary deprivations. The World Food Programme estimates that another 130 million people may have fallen into this category because of the global pandemic (FAO 2020). Finally, the space for public participation in politics and respect for civil and political rights are shrinking progressively. In 2019, 40 per cent of the world's population lived in countries where freedoms of association, peaceful assembly and expression were violated (CIVICUS Monitor 2019). The COVID-19 pandemic has worsened the situation, and some civil society organizations claim that some governments used the pandemic to enforce more restrictions on civic freedoms (CIVICUS Monitor 2020). Even though the crisis caused by the pandemic is global, low-and middleincome countries have been hardest hit. About 82 per cent of the new poor will be in middle-income countries (World Bank 2020a).With the deepening of these crises, concerns for inclusion, fairness and justice have gained saliency in political discourse (Biermann and Kalfagianni 2020; 116

“…De lá para cá, principalmente em virtude da criação dos 17 Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentáveis (ODSs) da ONU, em 2015, o que se tem verificado denota uma tendência à transversalização do gênero (gender mainstreaming) em discussões envolvendo o desenvolvimento global, principalmente em prol de uma agenda que dissolva paulatinamente os laços de desigualdade entre homens e mulheres construídos social, histórico e economicamente (Sardenberg, 2018). Ocorre que, diante do agravamento dessa desigualdade após o impacto da pandemia pelo novo coronavírus no crescimento econômico mundial, um potente discurso a favor de uma maior participação do público feminino nos negócios ressurgiu como um fator essencial não apenas para a recuperação econômica após cenários de crise e instabilidade global (Sajjad et al, 2020;World Economic Forum [WEF], 2021), mas também para o avanço social e cultural necessário a um desenvolvimento sustentável de longo prazo (Azcona & Bhatt, 2020).…”

Resumo O presente artigo visa verificar a relação entre inovação e progresso social para o avanço da igualdade de gênero em esfera global. Para tanto, dados secundários foram coletados no Índice Global de Inovação (GII), no Índice de Progresso Social (SPI) e no Índice Global de Igualdade de Gênero (GGGI) dos anos de 2020 e 2021. Na análise quantitativa, utilizou-se o modelo de regressão linear múltipla por meio do software de código aberto R Studio. Os resultados evidenciaram que o progresso social afeta positiva e significativamente a igualdade de gênero, embora não se tenha encontrado nenhuma correlação entre esta e a inovação. Ao fornecer uma estrutura compreensível para avaliar os fatores relacionados à diminuição das lacunas globais de gênero, este estudo serve como um catalisador para uma maior conscientização pública a respeito do tema, além de representar uma importante fonte de informação aos formuladores de políticas públicas e demais públicos de interesse.
