Gender is the key: effective gender mainstreaming unlocks 鈥楪reen List鈥 success in Protected and Conserved Areas worldwide

Gender equality and women鈥檚 empowerment are matters of fundamental human rights and social justice, as well as a prerequisite for sustainable development and achieving the SDGs and other global agendas. For over 20 years 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 has been committed to the cause of not leaving women and girls behind and by emphasizing the use of 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Standards, we can better equip, empower and encourage protected and conserved areas to better deal with gender issues in their governance, management and other activities.听

The various global programs, regional offices and 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Commissions of Experts, led by the Global Protected Areas Program, are committed to these advances. This month, in which we celebrate the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and joining the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence campaign聽by the United Nations, we want to make visible the progress made by the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Green List to address the gender equality and the fight against violence in protected and conserved areas.听

Gender mainstreaming through the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Green List of Protected and Conserved Areas聽

In a collaboration between the Global Protected Areas Programme, the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Global Program on Governance and Rights Gender team, and the South America Regional Office, with the support through the Amazon Green List鈥痯roject, a Global Gender Working Group was created. The aims of this working group would be to strengthen gender mainstreaming in protected and conserved areas globally through the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Green List of Protected and Conserved Areas Standard. It is the first global standard of for fair and effective protected and conserved areas that also directly tackles gender issues in areas of governance and management.鈥疶o achieve such aims, the group would look in depth at the Standard and the certification process and make recommendations to advance gender considerations across the different regions and jurisdictions.听

Preliminary findings of the Global Gender Working Group聽

A preliminary review of the Standard, the sites justifications to these indicators and criteria as well as the expertise among the Expert Assessment Groups (EAGLs) was conducted by the Group and has found the following: 聽聽

The 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Green List Standard聽

  • Gender is directly targeted in two out of the 50 indicators of the standard:聽
    • GLS-V1.1-1.1.5 under the Good Governance component and criterion 1.1 targeting legitimacy and voice: 鈥淕overnance arrangements help advance gender equity in relation to management of the site.鈥澛
    • GLS-V1.1-3.1.5 under the Effective Management component and the criterion 3.1 targeting the implementation of a long-term management strategy: 鈥淢anagement efforts support equity, including gender equity, related to site management.鈥澛
  • Aside from these two, 18 other indicators out of the 50 were identified with the potential to be linked to gender issues.听

Site justifications聽

As a methodology, the Group has considered 45 sites that are Green Listed and 26 Candidate sites with justifications to these indicators on gender聽

  • On COMPASS, the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Green List database management platform some errors have been identified in the reporting of PAs regarding gender indicators. There is a general trend that these indicators are not being responded to in depth, with 6 sites not responding to one of the two or both indicators. 聽
  • The site justifications can be grouped in the following categories:聽
    • Adherence to government acts/legislation聽
    • Statistics on workforce聽
    • No discrimination in employment聽
    • Equal/full pay聽
    • Active effort聽
    • 翱迟丑别谤听
  • 24 sites out of the 71 studied, approximately 34% showed active efforts in their evidence for one or both indicators

Expert Assessment Groups for the Green List (EAGLs)聽

All 304 registered EAGL members and EAGL chairs and Coordinators have been considered in this preliminary review聽

  • 24% of all EAGL members have expertise in 鈥淐ommunity or indigenous stakeholder organizations鈥 or in 鈥淐ommunity or economic development鈥 or both. 聽
  • No reports on experience in gender issues or background on gender studies.听
  • Great lack of data reported on COMPASS by the different EAGL members when it comes to their expertise and experience. 聽

First set of recommendations from the Working Group聽

  1. Improve the guidance in the standard when it comes to fulfilling the gender indicators, to highlight the link when it comes to the other related indicators as well as the general standard鈥檚 criteria.听
  2. Equip site mentors with resources to help the sites build deeper understanding to these issues and how to better respond to these indicators.听
  3. Collect and share different case studies on gender mainstreaming from across our Candidate and Green Listed sites 聽
  4. The first filter in site evaluation is the EAGL, as such; training is required on the different issues of gender and their interlinkages with conservation in protected areas. 聽
  5. Recommendation to actively include more applicants with backgrounds on social, governance and gender issues when forming an EAGL or renewing its membership 聽
  6. Improve data quality on EAGL members on COMPASS聽
  7. Gender training and guidelines for the EAGL need to be developed and used when an EAGL is undergoing its first training and accreditation on the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Green List.听

Next Steps of the Working Group聽

  • Review of the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Green List User Manual and Standard to find entry points where gender considerations can be strengthened聽
  • To develop a survey for EAGLs, protected area managers, and mentors in order to find out their knowledge in relation to gender issues and to capture best practices that can be developed as short case studies. These case studies will be then used as inputs to enhance the gender considerations in 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Green List User Manual and other guidance materials.听
  • To develop a webinar on gender and PA聽
  • Continue the research on the Standard, sites and EAGLs聽
  • Support the inclusion of gender issues in the different projects of the Green List聽

Where聽one in three women and girls will be a victim of gender-based violence throughout her life (World Bank, 2019).
