Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment: Member States Survey
In March 2019, the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) at its fourth session adopted resolution 17 on Promoting gender equality and the human rights and empowerment of women and girls in environmental governance (UNEA4 Res. 17). To meet the requirements of the Resolution the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) developed a survey for member states and stakeholders to collect data disaggregated by inter alia, sex, age, and disability and lessons learned from the Member States and stakeholders, on the progress made in achieving gender equality and empowerment of women and girls in global, national and local environmental policies, programmes and initiatives (Res. 17(2a)). Accordingly, the survey covering the period from 2019 to 31st December 2020 was carried out from December 2020 to January 30th, 2021. The target number of respondents for this survey is 193 countries out of which only 12 countries have responded as of 12th February 2021. Member states are encouraged to continue submitting their responses to enable UNEP to adequately respond to the requirements of Resolution 4/17.
