"I voted in favour of this report because the essence of a green or, in other words, sustainable economy is to preserve the ecosystem’s productive capacity while creating a society where basic human needs are met. When creating a green economy, it is therefore important not to harm nature and for resources to be fairly distributed, irrespective of gender, race, sexual orientation, ethnicity, disability or beliefs. Men and women need to be equally involved in making political and economic decisions because democracy is based on those elected representing the entire population. Countries must take all appropriate measures to achieve a gender balance and to ensure women’s interests are considered in the same way as men’s interests. We must take into account the fact that natural resources are limited, as well as the fact that production and consumption results in emissions that eventually end up in the ecosystem. The prudent use of natural resources is therefore important for preventing negative environmental outcomes. This means the need to move towards the scenario of a green economy. Gender equality is part of what we mean by a green and sustainable economy. It is very important to make the role played by women visible and women should have time left to participate in social development."@en1
