"Mr President, the green economy can also be labelled the sustainable economy, by which I mean social and environmental sustainability in particular. Social sustainability means a social order based on equality and social justice, regardless of gender, ethnicity, skin colour, religion, sexual orientation, disability or political beliefs.
Due to gender roles, the impact of women on the environment is not the same as the impact of men. In many countries, moreover, women’s access to the resources and possibilities for controlling the situation and adapting are limited, due to structural norms and discrimination. Gender inequality, combined with a lack of sensitivity towards the different economic and social status of women and their needs, often causes women to suffer disproportionately from environmental degradation.
The consequences of climate change also have the greatest impact on the poorest people, of whom women comprise an estimated 70%. Women in the green economy are insufficiently represented in specialist roles and are clearly insufficiently represented in negotiations on the environment and the budget, as well as in decision making in this area."@en1
