NO This report explores some connections and gaps between the environment and gender. The data and case studies included in this document explain how gender differences and traditional roles, considered as women’s ones, affect all sustainable development areasand the rights, decisions and the access of women to water, energy, food security, forests, sustainable consumption and production. Consequently, the report also shows how the inequalities between women and men, expose women to specific environmental threats and vulnerabilities. The report focused in those themes in which data evidence the existence of specific gender gaps on environmentalissues. However, it also points out the need to further research the existence of these gaps in relation to other environmental topics such as biodiversity conservation and sustainable lifestyles. The document also highlights the role of women in addressing environmental gaps from a gender perspective with some specific and positive examples from the region, as well as suggests a way forward in the framework of the regional work of the Forum of Ministers of Environment.
