This presentation was made by Sigita Strumskyte, at the 3rd Experts Meeting on Gender Budgeting held at the OECD Conference Centre, Paris, on 19-20 September 2019.
The rights and access of woman to water resources are still overlooked. Mostly, woman neither invited nor considered for water resources project planning and management. However, woman is deprived more due to scarce water and lower quality. It increases their work load and get less time for paid employment, and attending school. Therefore, IWRM is considered one of the cornerstones which reflects the necessity of integrating gender in water resources management. Under IWRM principles, woman plays a central part in the provision, management, and safeguarding of water which results in the sustainable development, allocation and monitoring of water resources.

The document discusses gender inequality and imbalance in education and academia in Cyprus. It finds that women face higher rates of poverty, earn less, and are underrepresented in political and high-level positions. Overcoming stereotypes and reforming evaluation criteria are proposed to leverage women's potential to drive economic growth and reshape society through greater participation and leadership in fields like engineering for healthcare.
Inclusive sustainable development gender and climate change8 (2)UNDP Policy Centre
The document discusses inclusive sustainable development and accounting for gender in climate policy. It notes that development cannot be achieved if half the population is left out. Gender equality is key to effective development. Climate change disproportionately impacts women in terms of livelihood security, social security, and physical security. Mainstreaming gender in climate policies and programs is important but implementation is lacking. More balanced investment is needed between mitigation and adaptation in climate finance to help vulnerable groups cope with climate risks. Stakeholders have a role to play in ensuring quality and accountability in climate actions and finance.

The document discusses transportation access issues faced by Arab women in Israel and how it relates to gender and employment. It notes that transportation policies have focused on men's needs and do not account for women's domestic responsibilities requiring more trips. Public transportation in Arab towns is inadequate with poor scheduling, buses, and information. Fewer Arab women have driver's licenses compared to Arab men and Jewish women. Reasons women lack licenses include economic factors, not needing a car, and social reasons. Improving transportation could increase Arab women's labor force participation and engagement, though cultural norms, lack of jobs and childcare, and discrimination may counteract the potential benefits.

This document provides a literature review on opportunities for soft mobility (walking and cycling) in urban and suburban areas, using Ethiopia as a case study. It discusses the benefits of walking and cycling, including economic benefits, health benefits, and environmental benefits. It assesses factors influencing walking and cycling in Ethiopia, such as infrastructure, land use planning, effects of rising motorization, and promotion of active transportation. The document recommends pedestrian- and cyclist-friendly urban design and integrated transportation infrastructure to create a safe, low-risk environment for active travelers in Ethiopia.
Contemporary approach to african feminism by Prof Tal EdgarsGBSH Consult Group
A number of years have passed since the first feminists based in Africa prioritised connections between gender, imperialism and race. Since these interventions, African feminist dialogues have become increasingly less concerned with critiquing western feminism and progressively more goal oriented and pro-active. Join GBSH Consult Group Executive Chairman H.E. Prof. Dr. Ambassador Tal Edgars as he discusses the contemporary approach to African Feminism.
1. There is a gender gap in climate-smart agriculture as it relates to access to resources, information, and decision making. Women are often neglected by climate services and have less capacity to implement climate adaptation practices in agriculture.
2. More evidence is needed on gender differences in roles and impacts, and on participatory approaches, women's organizations, and indigenous knowledge related to climate-smart agriculture.
3. Institutions and services need to better meet women's needs, as they tend to interact more with informal networks while men have greater access to formal institutions. The role of information and how to serve women better requires more understanding.

The document discusses mainstreaming gender issues into smallholder adaptation efforts in Africa. It describes the African Working Group on Gender and Climate Change (AWGGCC) which works to integrate gender perspectives into climate change policies and negotiations. Case studies from Swaziland, Nigeria, and Mali demonstrate how gender mainstreaming in climate adaptation projects can benefit communities by increasing women's participation, access to resources, and alleviating their workload. Challenges to gender mainstreaming in Africa include low representation of gender experts and appreciation of its importance, while opportunities include tailoring programs to local contexts and institutionalizing gender considerations.

The document discusses social learning and catchment management institutions in Southern Africa. It provides context on national water acts in South Africa and Namibia that promote integrated water resource management. It also describes two specific catchment management institutions: the Kuiseb Basin Management Committee in Namibia and the Kat River Water User Association in South Africa. It notes constraints these institutions face, such as lack of independent funding and power dynamics between stakeholders, which have made it difficult to achieve tangible outcomes through multi-stakeholder participation and social learning processes. However, some improved stakeholder relations have resulted.

The increasing interest among different communities of practice in integrating human and social considerations into traditional IS curricula has led to the development of new academic programs around the globe, aimed at establishing a framework within which students develop analytical skills to identify and evaluate the social consequences of IS, and gain experience in the socio-technical process of designing IS. An undergraduate program developed at an Israeli college in light of these global trends is presented, focusing on how the program might serve as a bridge between the ultra-orthodox and the high-tech communities surrounding the ancient city of Zefat in northern Israel.

A Presentation By Ebele Mogo, DrPH. By 2050, two-thirds of the global population will live in cities. Already, over half of the world’s population lives in urban centers. In line with Goal 11 of the Sustainable Development Goals (S.D.G.s), these urban centers need to be made sustainable. Healthy and resilient urban development prioritizes the physical and social environment of urban residents and safeguards their health in the face of future stresses. This mixed methods study sought to understand the extent to which health and resilience were integrated into the development of the Lagos metropolis. This study serves as a case study for other metropolises on how to integrate and considerations for integrating urban health and resilience into city planning processes.
CIFOR’s contribution to ASFCC: Research Results from 2014-2015CIFOR-ICRAF
This document summarizes CIFOR's contributions to the ASEAN Social Forestry Network from 2014-2015. CIFOR conducted research on swidden systems and livelihoods to understand their relevance for REDD+ and how swidden communities can participate in and benefit from REDD+. Key research results included analyzing social networks and governance in swidden communities, mapping land use dynamics and carbon stocks, and understanding rural population movements through migration. Planned future activities include further research, policy reviews, knowledge sharing, and capacity building activities in Indonesia, Laos, and Vietnam.
This document discusses various indicators for measuring sustainable development, including the Millennium Development Goals, Sustainable Development Goals, Living Planet Index, Planetary Boundaries, Environmental Performance Index, and Ecological Footprint. It provides details on each indicator, including trends over time for various countries and regions of the world. Overall, the document analyzes a wide range of metrics to assess progress toward global sustainable development goals and outlines some of the challenges around balancing economic growth, social welfare, and environmental protection.
The document presents data trends in Canada from 2006 to 2011 related to indicators such as crime rates, traffic violations, physicians, and obesity. It also discusses unemployment rates for immigrants and youth. Specific communities are highlighted that have implemented programs to address safety and job opportunities for youth.
The document discusses how neighborhood factors like access to healthy food, safe spaces, and environmental hazards influence health outcomes. It finds that racial residential segregation concentrates poverty and limits socioeconomic opportunities for communities of color. Segregation is associated with worse health, including higher exposure to pollution and fewer parks/recreational areas in non-white neighborhoods. The evidence suggests addressing social determinants of health through multisector place-based and people-based strategies like improving environmental conditions and expanding educational opportunities to reduce health inequities.

The document discusses mainstreaming gender in water and sanitation policy. It describes how approaches to gender in policy have evolved from a welfare model focused on women's domestic roles, to a women in development model targeting women, to current gender and development models seeking to transform unequal gender relations and achieve equality. For water and sanitation policy, this means going beyond access to services to target economic equality, equal participation in decision making, and equality in business opportunities in the sector. Conducting gender analyses and audits can help inform gender-sensitive policy formulation.
Gender, energy and policy a review of energy policies in east and southern a...Dr. Jack Onyisi Abebe
Renewable, clean energy and gender equality are preconditions for sustainable development and for tackling climate change. This linkage is tacit in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Gender equality and women’s empowerment (Goal 5) and women’s and men’s equal access to secure energy services (Goal 7) are central to building more environmentally sustainable and climate-resilient societies (Goals 13 and 15) (UN Women and UNDP-UNEP PEI, 2015).
This document discusses gender and integrated water resources management (IWRM). It begins by defining gender and explaining why gender matters in IWRM. Key facts are presented about the burdens women face in accessing water for domestic and agricultural uses. The document advocates for gender mainstreaming in IWRM planning and management to promote equity and efficiency. Specific approaches are outlined for integrating gender, such as appreciating women's unpaid work, including gender budgeting and indicators, and ensuring representation of minorities. Benefits of integrating gender in IWRM include ensuring the three pillars of IWRM: efficiency, effectiveness and social equity.

Benefits of integrating gender in IWRM include ensuring the three pillars of IWRM: efficiency, effectiveness and social equity.
1) The document discusses how gender impacts climate change through differences in transportation patterns and energy consumption between men and women.
2) Men on average consume more energy for food and travel longer distances by car than women, contributing more to greenhouse gas emissions.
3) The transportation sector is dominated by masculine norms and priorities that view men as the main users and do not adequately consider gender differences or climate change impacts in policy and planning.
The lifestyle of the inhabitants of Lagos, Nigeria does not fully reflect the principles of sustainable development due to several issues. Lagos has a very high population that is growing rapidly, straining resources and infrastructure. A typical Lagosian's lifestyle negatively impacts the environment through practices like improper waste disposal, pollution from vehicles, and lack of recycling. Socially, corruption and poor infrastructure limit access to education and healthcare. Economically, the population relies heavily on imports rather than developing local industry and exports. To better achieve sustainable development, the summary recommends improving access to education and healthcare, promoting recycling and environmental regulations, developing local manufacturing and agriculture, and government policies that encourage a less import-dependent economy.
Information and communication technologies and gender in climaLaticiaGrissomzz
This document summarizes a study on women's opportunities and challenges in participating in Zambia's transition to a green economy. The study analyzed Zambian policy documents to understand current environmental interventions and gender frameworks. It found that while opportunities exist, women will likely face limitations in participating due to challenges accessing information/communication technologies, low education/skills levels, and financial constraints. For Zambia to maximize benefits from its green transition, these gender-based limitations must be addressed in future policies and programs.
Do you think that the lifestyle of the inhabitants of your town or city reflects behavior that is in line with the concept of sustainable development? In your opinion, what should be improved?
OECD Green Talks LIVE: The gender-environment nexusOECD Environment
Gender equality and environmental sustainability are gaining political momentum as global challenges that require urgent co-ordinated action. Women and men around the world are affected in a differentiated way by climate change, deforestation, land degradation, desertification, unsustainable infrastructure, growing water scarcity and inadequate sanitation, making the goals of gender equality and environmental sustainability mutually reinforcing. They may also experience differentiated health impacts from air pollution and chemicals. Yet, very few countries integrate a gender lens to their environmental data collection and policy making.
On 30 March 2023, the OECD held a Green Talks: LIVE webinar, with a presentation by Dimitra Xynou and Valentina Bellisi, Policy Analysts from the Green Finance and Investment division. These are the slides from their presentation.

1) The document discusses addressing gender concerns in climate change projects in Southern Africa. It highlights how gender impacts vulnerability to climate change due to existing inequalities.
2) Case studies from Botswana, South Africa, Namibia, and Mozambique found climate change negatively impacts women farmers' food production and women's access to resources is limited.
3) The document calls for gender-responsive climate policies, governance, and energy sector reforms to empower women and ensure their needs are addressed in climate adaptation.
The document discusses networking efforts among various women's organizations focused on sustainability and the environment. It outlines recommendations from the Women's Major Group calling for recognition of human and women's rights, poverty eradication, and gender equality in sustainable development agreements. It also provides recommendations from the Network of Women Ministers and Leaders for the Environment emphasizing mainstreaming gender and empowering women in decision making regarding natural resources.
The centrality of gender equality, women’s empowerment and the realization of women’s rights in achieving sustainable development has been increasingly recognized in recent decades.
This is evident in a number of international norms and agreements, including:
Principle 20 of the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development (1992);
The Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (1995);
Report of the Fourth World Conference on Women, 1995;
The United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (2012), etc
Presentation provides information on the impact of climate change on gender and the agriculture, energy, infrastructure, water, and economic sectors in Africa. Gender responsive climate change policies/strategies are also discussed.
Final Presentation Women Climate Change CitiesBeatrice Mauger
This document discusses the disproportionate impacts of climate change on women and the need to include women in climate change decision-making. It provides an overview of key climate change concepts like vulnerability, adaptation, and mitigation. Cities are major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions but are also mobilizing initiatives to address climate change. However, these initiatives often lack a gender dimension. The document examines case studies of climate actions in Mexico City and San Francisco and provides recommendations like introducing gender equality measures into local policies, developing best practices guidance, and conducting additional research and training programs to support women's leadership roles in climate policy.

Presentation of OECD Government at a Glance 2023OECD Governance
Paris, 30 June, 2023
Presentation by Elsa Pilichowski, Director for Public Governance, OECD.
The 2023 edition of Government at a Glance provides a comprehensive overview of public governance and public administration practices in OECD Member and partner countries. It includes indicators on trust in public institutions and satisfaction with public services, as well as evidence on good governance practices in areas such as the policy cycle, budgeting, procurement, infrastructure planning and delivery, regulatory governance, digital government and open government data. Finally, it provides information on what resources public institutions use and how they are managed, including public finances, public employment, and human resources management. Government at a Glance allows for cross-country comparisons and helps identify trends, best practices, and areas for improvement in the public sector.

This document summarizes developments in sovereign green bond markets. It discusses approaches to incorporating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into public debt management. Sovereign green bond issuance has grown significantly in both advanced and emerging economies since 2016. Green bonds make up the largest share of the labeled bond market. Major benefits of sovereign green bonds include their positive impact on creditworthiness and alignment with ESG policies. However, issuers also face challenges such as additional costs and complexity of the issuance process. Common leading practices emphasize transparency, collaboration, and commitment to reporting.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

2024: The FAR - Federal Acquisition Regulations, Part 42
D1 pm - session 3 - Sigita Strumskyte, OECD
1. GENDER EQUALITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL
SUSTAINABIILITY:
FOSTERING AN INTEGRATED POLICY AGENDA
Sigita Strumskyte
Coordinator for Gender and SDGs - Director’s Office
Environment Directorate
OECD
September 2019
2. • Links between environmental
sustainability and gender equality
• OECD on gender equality
• Country initiatives
• Challenges & Next steps
Outline
3. Lack of access to energy and electricity affect women more than men:
Environmental policies and budgets cannot be
gender blind – a look at developing countries
Lack of adequate sanitation affects women and girls more than men:
40% of girls were found to remain absent from school during their menstruation
due to lack of clean toilets, clean water, privacy, soap and sanitary supplies
(Vashisht et al., 2018).
Only 45% of schools in least-developed and low-income countries had adequate
sanitation facilities (UNICEF, 2011).
In 25 sub-Saharan African countries, women
spend 16 million hours daily collecting water,
compared to 6 million hours spent by men
and 4 million hours spent by children (UN
Women, 2016).
In rural areas in Brazil, girls are 59% more
likely to complete primary education when
they have access to electricity than those
without (O’Dell et al. 2015)
4. • Indoor pollution: over 4 million people – mainly women and
children – die every year from indoor air pollution (WHO, 2016).
• Natural disasters: women and children account for more that 75%
of displaced persons worldwide.
In 1991, during the cyclone disasters in Bangladesh, of the
140,000 people who died, 90% were women (Ikeda, 1995).
In the 2004 Tsunami in coastal Indonesia, women and girls
accounted for more than three-quarters of deaths in most of
the surveyed villages (Oxfam 2005).
In the 2008 cyclone Nargis in Myanmar, 61% of the victims
were women (UNEP 2013).
Environmental impact is not gender-
neutral
6. Gender & infrastructure in OECD countries
– transport and urban design facts
• Urban and transport infrastructure
accounts for more than 60% of
greenhouse gas emissions.
• Women travel shorter trips than
men, use public transport more and
travel more during off-peak hours
(Ng and Acker, 2018)
• An increase of 1 minute in
commuting time in metropolitan
areas is associated with
approximately 0.3 percentage point
decline in the women’s labour force
participation. (Black et al, 2012)
7. Gender & Infrastructure –
transport and urban design facts (cont’d)
Women place more emphasis on their commute time when deciding
whether or not to leave their jobs, while men prioritise pay
8. • In Santiago, Chile, high pollution
days (over 100 μg/m3) are common
and double the gender gap in
working hours as women are more
likely to stay at home with their
children (Montt, 2018).
• Air pollution is as bad for pregnant
women as smoking in terms of
elevating the risk of miscarriage
(Leiser et al, 2019).
• Tweet in March 2019: The Ella
Roberta Family Foundation
(@rosamund_ElsFdn) - "Ella's death
certificate could be the first to
include air pollution as a cause
of death."
OECD countries:
gender-specific pollution and climate change facts
9. • Chemicals affect men and women
differently due to size, physiological,
hormonal, and enzyme differences.
• OECD Test Guidelines prescribe the
measurement of male- or female-specific
effects.
• There are differences in men and
women’s exposure to chemicals due
to occupational differences, different
behavior and consumption patterns.
• Undergoing survey on willingness-to-
pay by gender to avoid chemicals-related
negative health impacts
OECD countries:
gender-specific impact of chemicals
10. • Men use more energy than
women for transport, ranging
from 70% more in Germany to over
350% more in Greece (Räty,
Carlsson-Kanyama, 2009).
• Women city dwellers are less
satisfied with air quality than
men (OECD, 2012).
• Women urban designers value
environmental aspects more,
even though they feel unable to
influence policies (Wallhagen et al.,
2018)
• Women are more likely to recycle,
minimise waste and buy
organic food and eco-labelled
products (OECD, 2008, 2011)
OECD countries:

Budget is a tool for policy coherence
13. In the U.S. House of Representatives…
When discussing the government budget – women members devoted more time
to natural disasters, infrastructure and transportation, and the environment, as
well as to sectors heavily impacted by climate change (e.g. health)
14. In the UK House of Commons…
Women MPs focus more of their speeches on welfare reforms, child care, NHS
and social care and refer to development and climate and change
three times more than their male counterparts.
15. • 15 out of 36 OECD members currently have female Ministers of
Environment
But :
• Around 40% of OECD members’ national representatives at UN Conventions
are women, with the exception of biodiversity, where women are
overrepresented (20 out of 36)
• Women make up around 20% of the total workforce in the transport, energy,
mining, and water sectors, and hold even less leadership positions.
• Out of the 60 member countries of the International Transport Forum, only 13
countries have female Ministers of Transport
• Only 7 OECD countries have female Ministers of Finance
Women’s underrepresentation ultimately has an impact on the way
budgets, policies and projects take shape, and by extension, their efficacy
and sustainability.
Beyond women in parliaments…
16. Ecosystems’ management facts
• Over-exploitation of water
resources by agriculture is
damaging ecosystems by reducing
water flows below minimum levels
(OECD, 2010). Only 21.35% of
agricultural land owners are
female on average in OECD
countries (FAO)
• Men mostly involved in fish and
aquaculture harvesting (81% in
2014 in OECD countries), women in
secondary fields (90%), which are
often low paid or unpaid (UN
Women)
17. • The 2013 OECD Recommendation on
Gender Equality in Education,
Employment and Entrepreneurship
• The 2015 OECD Recommendation on
Gender Equality in Public Life
(+Toolkit)
• The OECD Development Centre's Social
Institutions and Gender Index (SIGI)
OECD Gender Policy Platform:
Accelerating Gender Mainstreaming
through the SDGs
OECD guidance supports linkages between the
environment, gender equality, and smart budgeting
18. • New Zealand’s Well-being Budget: a cleaner, greener and
low-carbon approach; a just transition that ensures
environmental sustainability, decent work and social inclusion
Budget initiatives that address
the Gender-Environmental-Sustainability Nexus:
• Sweden’s feminist approach on
marrying climate and budget goals
• Canada’s Gender-Based Analysis
Plus (GBA+) applies a gender lens in
climate change policies
• Costa Rica’s gender approach on
agro-forestry systems
• Gender impact assessments in Austria, Belgium,
Denmark, Germany, Finland, Sweden, Spain
– The city of Vienna’s gender-mainstreaming of
infrastructure development
19. • Iceland found that building a new road tunnel
had different impacts on men and women;
• In Sweden, Stockholm’s “gender equal snow
ploughing strategy” prioritised cleaning bus and
bicycle lanes over roads;
• In Japan, re-designing Kitakyushu city’s
industrial structure with a more sustainable
approach;
• Australia’s National Broadband Network: 2,3%
average increase of self-employed women per year
Budget initiatives for inclusive infrastructure
development
21. • Overcoming challenges: lack of gender- disaggregated and
gender-sensitive data – start collecting!
• Find/Build interlinkages between green and gender
budgeting;
• OECD Framework for Better Governance of
Infrastructure – extend or complement to incorporate a
gender perspective.
• Stocktaking exercise - OECD survey on integrating gender
in environmental policy-making – can you help?
