Environmental Sustainability

Human Rights

Capacity Development

Environment is linked to…

• Poverty

• Security and peace building

• Gender

• Human Rights

Linkages:Poverty Environment

• Livelihoods: Poor people rely disproportionately on ecosystem products for their basic needs

• Improved resilience: Poor people are more vulnerable to natural disasters

• Health: Environmental hazards account for 1/5th of the overall burden of disease worldwide (WHO)

• Economic development: A healthy environment sustains employment in key sectors (agriculture, energy, forestry, fisheries, tourism)

The environment must be better managed to deliver pro-poor benefits (water supply, food, fuel..)

Gender Environment• Women and men understand and use environmental

resources differently AND are affected differently – Who are the users, protectors, managers of natural resources? – Who grows what types of crops? – Who have access to cash payments?– Who makes decisions regarding the use of land?

• Women and girls uniquely vulnerable to environmental degradation: deforestation, water shortages

• Despite role and know-how, women's contributions often undervalued and ignored

• Gender differences in the control of land a critical point for analysis and action

Women’s involvement and leadership in environmental programmes leads to multiple benefits in economic development, family health and community strength

No explicit recognition of a right to environment… but widespread acceptance of…1. the exercise of human rights requires basic environmental

health, and vice versa2. human rights and environmental sustainability are inter-

dependent, complementary and indivisible

The right to “life and a right to a standard of living adequate for health and well-being” – UDHR, 1948

The right to “the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health" through "the improvement of all aspects of environmental and industrial hygiene“ - ICCPR 19xx & ICESCR 19yy

The right to “freedom, equality and adequate conditions of life, in an environment of a quality that permits a life of dignity and well being.” - Stockholm Declaration on Human Environment (principle 1)

Ecosystem ServicesBenefits people obtain from ecosystems:

• Provisioning services: products of ecosystems (fresh water)

• Regulating services: benefits from regulation of climate, water, some human diseases

• Cultural services: nonmaterial benefits (spiritual, recreational, aesthetic)

• Supporting services: for all other ecosystem services (production of oxygen, soil, habitat..)

Mainstreaming ES in UNDAF ≠ “one size fits all”

Approach must be adapted to each country …
