Today, prospects for sustainable development remain a serious challenge as our global economy, our natural environment, our social well-being, and our political structures are in crisis. From the economy to climate change to food and agriculture, systems of governance are in disarray. Leaders recognize that gender equity is essential for achieving sustainable development, yet in many instances rhetoric has yet to materialize into action.
