Original Description:
The globally shared vision for sustainable development has a strong gender dimension
that highlights the need to continue identifying gender equality and women’s
empowerment as a core development goal in itself and as a catalyst for reaching all
other goals and objectives. As the 2015 deadline for the Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs) approaches, the United Nations is leading preparations for a post-2015 sustainable
development agenda, both to accelerate achieving the MDGs and to create a framework
that will build on the achievements of the past 15 years. The central challenge for the
post-2015 sustainable development agenda is to move away from unsustainable policy
frameworks, towards policies that encourage sustainable production and consumption,
protect the most vulnerable and build resilience of countries and communities to climate
and other environmental and socio-economic risks.1 Building on the lessons learned from
the MDGs, the processes underway to advance the post-2015 sustainable development
agenda will be underpinned by the principles of inclusiveness, equality, human rights and
sustainability, as well as by addressing the unequal measures of development progress.
In June 2012, the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20)
marked the twentieth anniversary of the United Nations Conference on Environment
and Development (the Earth Summit). Launching a process for formulating new sustainable
development goals towards ‘The Future we Want’, Rio+20 reflected the need for
a renewed vision for sustainable development—a vision of increased livelihood security,
equality and prosperity for all. United Nations Member States defined sustainable development
broadly, emphasizing that reducing poverty and eliminating inequalities are as
central as protecting the environment.
Despite many of the achievements of the MDGs, the framework has been criticized
for inadequately addressing important issues embodied in the Millennium Declaration,
particularly issues related to equality and environmental sustainability. While substantial
progress has been made on many MDGs—
for example, on education, poverty reduction
and decreases of infant and child mortality—persistent inequalities, including gender-based
inequality, economic crises and widespread environmental degradation are holding back
progress on many development goals. Progress has also been unequally distributed across
and within regions and countries, further reflecting the interconnected nature of gender,
age, class, ethnicity, education and rural-urban issues. People who have not benefitted or
