Sustainable development and gender well-being by Caren Grown, Maria Floro, Odera Onyechi

“…The empirical analysis reveals that countries that exceed ecological boundaries, notably through elevated CO _2 emissions and material footprints, often experience reduced levels of sustainable well-being, disproportionately impacting women due to existing disparities in education and income earnings. Gender differences in SDI outcomes reflect both ecological overshoot consequences and baseline gender inequalities in human development. …”
