Policy Recommendations by the Women’s Major Group on global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Post-­‐2015 Development Agenda

10 Recommendations for the Sustainable Development Agenda and the Post-­‐2015 Development Agenda

10.04.2013

<<


The Women Major Group has a Southern-lead team of authors which have drafted a discussion paper with a women's perspective on Sustainable Development Goals - a key outcome of the Rio+20 conference – and their link to the Post 2015 development agenda. The WMG discussion paper is a work in progress which continues to provide the basis for policy statements for the ongoing policy discussion. Some of the key points have been been drafted into a summary with 10 key recommendations.
  • Ensuring human rights, women's rights and gender equality
  • Economic models that do not deplete natural resources and the earth carrying capacities
  • Ensuring environmental health for all
  • Moratoria on unsustainable technologies
  • Ending corporate power over public resources and governance by strengthening the role of the democratic and transparent state
  • Safe and sustainable energy and climate protection
  • Ensuring food sovereignty and halting land grabbing for all
  • Global Social Protection and equal pay
  • Universal and popular education
  • Eliminating asymmetries of power in the process of SDG and Post2015
