Global gender and environment outlook (GGEO) high level political forum

During the second day of the United Nations High Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLFP), the key findings of the Global Gender and Environment Outlook (GGEO) – the first ever comprehensive assessment about gender and the environment - were presented.  The findings were presented by Elliot Harris within the HLPF meeting side event: Getting set for the SDG implementation from local to global.  The side event was hosted by Women’s Environment and Development Organization (WEDO), Women in Europe for a Common Future (WECF) and UNEP. The GGEO is essential reading for those who are interested in the social dimensions of environmental issues, and in particular how these issues are gendered.
