Abstract: Although the gender-environment connections aren’t exhaustively understood, largely due to the lack of available data on the topic, increasingly available evidence demonstrates that achieving the SDGs, including meeting the 2030 Agenda’s promise of leaving no one behind, will require better mainstreaming of gender into the environment goals. Utilizing examples from the SDG monitoring framework, the chapter showcases that while some of the available indicators are useful, with some modification, for demonstrating and understanding gender differences, the amount of data available is grossly insufficient. The paper also elucidates different examples of on-going international efforts to generate methodology to address data gaps on the gender-environment nexus. It emphasizes that there is a need to step up measures for further methodological development to address data gaps in additional priority areas that countries have highlighted, such as environment-related conflict, migration and displacement from a gender angle, among many others.
