Abstract
This report focuses on the nexus of
environment and gender equality, defined as equality of
access to and control over natural resources and development
benefits; and equality of access to decision-making and
representation for environmental and natural resources
management process. The report provides recommendations to
expand women's opportunities to own land; expand
men's and women's knowledge and participation in
reducing exposure to environmental hazards; strengthen
gender mainstreaming efforts at the national policy level;
improve women's participation at national, regional and
local levels; and expand women's involvement in
demand-side accountability mechanisms for environmental governance.
