Gender equality

Within a landscape of overlapping ecological, social and economic priorities, there exists a fundamental need to balance the land use dynamics of natural resource management with environmental and livelihood considerations. However, in striving to reach such a balance, people and local institutions are often excluded or forgotten.

Методология оценки перспектив восстановления лесных ландшафтов (МОПВ)1 была разработана МСОП и Институтом по исследованию мировых ресурсов (ИИМР) для оказания помощи странам в выявлении возможностей восстановления лесных ландшафтов (ВЛЛ), определении приоритетных территориий на национальном и региональном уровнях, а также разработке и реализации мероприятий по ВЛЛ.

A Metodologia de Avaliação de Oportunidades de Restauração (MAOR) foi elaborada pela UICN e pelo Instituto de Recursos Mundiais (WRI) com vista a apoiar os países no planeamento e implementação da restauração da paisagem florestal (FLR), com a análise de áreas prioritárias nos âmbitos nacional e subnacional e a concepção e implementação de intervenções de FLR.

La Méthodologie d’évaluation des opportunités de restauration des paysages forestiers (MEOR) a été élaborée par l’UICN et le World Resources Institute (WRI) pour aider les pays à identifier les opportunités de restauration des paysages forestiers (RPF), analyser les zones prioritaires au niveau national ou infranational et concevoir et mettre en oeuvre des interventions de RPF.

La UICN y el World Resources Institute (WRI) crearon la Metodología de Evaluación de Oportunidades de Restauración (ROAM) para ayudar a los países a identificar oportunidades de restauración de paisajes forestales (RPF), analizar las áreas prioritarias a nivel nacional o subnacional, y diseñar y ejecutar intervenciones de RPF.

The Restoration Opportunities Assessment Methodology (ROAM) was developed by IUCN and the World Resources Institute (WRI) to assist countries in identifying opportunities for forest landscape restoration (FLR), analysing priority areas at a national or sub-national level, and designing and implementing FLR interventions. As part of IUCN’s effort to update the methodology, these guidelines have been developed to ensure the application of ROAM and the ensuing FLR implementation, including any policy uptake and land-use planning, is gender responsive.

Culture can be a close ally to gender equality. This report aims to consolidate leading research, statistics and case studies in the field of culture and gender equality, focusing in particular on creativity and heritage, as a contribution to international debates on the post-2015 agenda. It aims to benchmark progress to date and proposes recommendations for governments, decision-makers, the international community and civil society.

Across the globe, women are heavily involved in the environmental sector, including in agriculture, fisheries, forestry, and in adapting to and mitigating climate change. However, women's participation and representation in decision-making processes that pertain to their and their families' environmental well-being are often restricted. In 2014, Conservation International collaborated with IUCN's Global Gender Office (GGO) to produce case studies about the state of women in environmental decision making in three countries: Ecuador, Liberia, and the Philippines.
