A/HRC/39/34 11 (sustainable cities and communities) and 13 (climate action) in conjunction with Goal 5 (gender equality). 20. The experts also pointed out relevant work of the treaty bodies. For example, the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women had addressed issues such as the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including those resulting from fossil fuel extraction (see CEDAW/C/NOR/CO/9) and to protect the rights of persons displaced by climate change (see CEDAW/C/PHL/CO/7-8).7 The Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights had recognized that safe and clean drinking water and sanitation, energy, land and the environment were essential components of everyone’s right to an adequate standard of living, including women and children. The Committee had also recognized the intergenerational nature of rights; in its general comment No. 15 (2002) on the right to water, the Committee emphasized that the right to water should be realized for present and future generations. An expert reported that two forthcoming general comments of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights would cover areas of the 2030 Agenda where further integration of gender analysis and gender-responsive or gendertransformative implementation would be required, namely sustainable development, the environment and economic, social and cultural rights and the right to land. Issues of gender equality and women’s equal rights would be integrated into those two general comments and they would provide essential guidance for the States parties once adopted. 21. Some Member States shared information on their policies and programmes to advance gender equality in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. A representative of Angola noted the recent adoption of the 2018–2022 national development plan, which aimed at ensuring equal opportunities for men and women, combating environmental crises and implementing the 2030 Agenda. Likewise, a representative of the Plurinational State of Bolivia stated that the Government’s land programme had led to an increase in the number of women landowners. 22. The experts considered that strategic areas for prioritization to integrate gender equality and women’s rights in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, including for countries with limited resources, were the elimination of gender-based violence against women, including harmful practices such as child, early and forced marriage; the equal distribution of unpaid domestic work; the elimination of harmful gender stereotypes and associated stigma; and the realization of sexual and reproductive health and rights, including in the context of the prevention of and response to HIV/AIDS. They also underscored the importance of focusing on the most marginalized groups of women and girls owing to the intersecting forms of discrimination they faced. IV. Leaving no one behind: how can diversity and intersectionality be captured? 23. Leaving no one behind was the central, overarching commitment of the 2030 Agenda. Throughout the meeting, the experts underscored the importance of collecting disaggregated data that could capture the diversity of different groups of people, but also the intersectionality of different forms of discrimination they might face. Being counted in the monitoring of the implementation of the 2030 Agenda could be a decisive element for certain groups for being visible, and thus to their participation rather than being left behind. Groups that were not visible in the efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals would face the same risk of being made invisible in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. Such groups included persons with disabilities; indigenous peoples; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and other non-binary persons; refugees; migrants; asylum seekers; internally displaced persons; people living in poverty; and people belonging to 7 6 See also Center for International Environmental Law and the Global Initiative for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, “States’ Human Rights Obligations in the Context of Climate Change: Synthesis Note on the Concluding Observations and Recommendations on Climate Change Adopted by UN Human Rights Treaty Bodies”.
