Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent studies have shown that one in four women worldwide or about 620 million women rate their lives positively enough to be considered 'thriving' and have shown that women in Nigeria play a crucial role due to their active involvement in conservation activities and management of the environment. However, they are viewed as insignificant partners and not accorded due attention and many women-related economic and social activities depends on environmental resources. Yet, women are denied access to effective and sustainable use of forest resources, and they have limited or no control over land, capital and labour. Women therefore suffer numerous limitations accordingly. As a result of widespread mistreatment and overt discrimination in all dimensions of women lives, women lack significant autonomy. The central preoccupation of this review is to explore key role of women in environmental conservation and discuss the current challenges and opportunities for the future. Equipped with the right tools, the massive and growing generation of women in Africa, particularly, Nigeria has the potential to drive development, achieve global goals and transform the continent's future along with their own." It is therefore recommended that for sustainable development to take its roots, access and ownership of natural resources should be enhanced for all gender particularly women, people living with disabilities, marginalized and minority groups. Unless women efforts are recognised, we might likely be pushing towards planetary limits and without vibrant women movement, the Sustainable Development Goals are dead in the water thereby leading to the brink of a global disaster.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of people on the earth, their distributions across the globe, consumption pattern and technologies they use, determine their relevance on the environment. That is, man uses the environment as a resource bank, a habitat and as a sink for wastes. But to correct the ills of the environment, we need to know and understand the environment. To understand the environment, we need to study it. To study the environment with the required precision, we need effective techniques. However, in the world of finite and non-renewable resources, the need to maintain our environment in a sustainable way cannot be overemphasized. This is even more crucial in settings where poverty, population pressure, vagaries of weather, etc. have meant increasing demand on the environment. In particular, societies, such as Nigeria, women are the traditional custodians of the environment their roles are hardly documented nor appreciated. Consequently, most measures that are designed to ameliorate, mitigate and reverse the deleterious impact of man on his environment tend to by-pass women. The very low level of successes of 'man-centered intervention projects' does not match the resources expended. To succeed, they need to appreciate the important role of gender relations, in particular women, in the maintenance and sustenance of the milieu as the home of man will loom large. This critically demands a radical departure from the current status quo to a system that places women at the nexus of environmentally friendly measures. In this paper; a framework for the documentation and appreciation of the contribution of women to a myriad of environmental problems is put forward. This framework appreciates the 'place' to wit, the socio-cultural and physical milieu that women have to grapple with in foresting healthy environmental management in Nigeria. There is, therefore, need for environmental security for future generations especially as the global environmental change affects the capacity to achieve sustainable development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globally, women are oppressed and this book introduces the perspective of African women and especially that of Nigerian women. This book looks at the major themes that drive the women's empowerment programs in Nigeria. Feminists in Nigeria are shaped by the institutions, values, ideologies, and since the 1970s, the UN and its agencies have added an international dimension. The chapters, while taking us through a theoretical overview of Nigerian women's empowerment, also shows how institutions, values, religion, and culture can challenge feminist political philosophy-- a philosophy that tends to universalize women's problems and their solutions.

Download or read book Gender and the Environment written by Oecd and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender equality and environmental goals are mutually reinforcing, with slow progress on environmental actions affecting the achievement of gender equality, and vice versa. Progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) requires targeted and coherent actions. However, complementarities and trade-offs between gender equality and environmental sustainability are scarcely documented within the SDG framework. Based on the SDG framework, this report provides an overview of the gender-environment nexus, looking into data and evidence gaps, economic and well-being benefits, and governance and justice aspects. It examines nine environment-related SDGs (2, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12 and 15) through a gender-environment lens, using available data, case studies, surveys and other evidence. It shows that women around the world are disproportionately affected by climate change, deforestation, land degradation, desertification, growing water scarcity and inadequate sanitation, with gender inequalities further exacerbated by COVID-19. The report concludes that gender-responsiveness in areas such as land, water, energy and transport management, amongst others, would allow for more sustainable and inclusive economic development, and increased well-being for all. Recognising the multiple dimensions of and interactions between gender equality and the environment, it proposes an integrated policy framework, taking into account both inclusive growth and environmental considerations at local, national and international levels.
