This book calls for policies, investments and initiatives in sustainable development that recognize women¿s knowledge, agency and decision-making as fundamental. Such gender-equitable approaches can improve resource productivity and efficiency and enhance ecosystem conservation and sustainable use. They can also build fairer and greener economies, and more sustainable, low-carbon and climate-resilient food, energy, water and sanitation, and health systems. Four key sets of issues - work and industrial production, population and reproduction, food and agriculture, and water, sanitation and energy ¿ provide focal lenses through which the book¿s chapters consider these challenges.
