Gender Equality in Sustainable Development and Climate Issues

Interest and purpose of the training

Approaches to sustainable development and gender equality are rarely interlinked. However, they are similar in terms of the attention paid to the involvement of stakeholders and the analysis of the implications of environmental, social, economic and cultural factors, and their joint consideration reinforces each other.

The emergence of these approaches calls into question the traditional notion of development, particularly in the current context of the fight against climate change and the new Sustainable Development Goals, from local to national level. It is against this backdrop that this training course aims to demonstrate that the operational implementation of these issues in strategies and projects makes it possible to meet the requirements of human rights and the ecological situation, as well as improving the quality and effectiveness of actions.
