"The imbalance between women and men in decision making in politics and the economy is great. This gender imbalance undermines the legitimacy of political decision making, as democracy is based on elected officials representing a cross-section of the population. Equal participation in politics and the green economy is essential to ensure women’s interests are considered in the same way as men’s interests are currently considered. To address this imbalance, countries should take all appropriate measures, including the introduction of quotas, to achieve a more balanced representation of the sexes in politics and the green economy. A green economy, however, also requires sustainable husbandry of human resources and social sustainability. This means, for example, a fairer balance between rich and poor, and between men and women. Greater equality must be an integral part of a green and sustainable economy."@en1
