Abstract

This paper discusses gender equality in sustainable development goals as a response to the 2023 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Report. Through the lens of international environmental law, gender equality achievement is examined both by its international commitment and its implementation at local institutions. This study focuses on elements of the data report that closely relate to human rights and the environment. These include women’s global share in national agricultural ownership, their secure tenure rights over agricultural land, and access to fair legal protection. This study then observes the availability of international agendas within international environmental law to promote sustainable development goals. Relevant legal frameworks include those arranged by the 1992 Rio Earth Summit and the 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change. To examine local implementation, this study uses the West Sumatra government as a case study, employing questionnaires and interviews with provincial legal actors. Indonesia Investment Law, which covers a broad spectrum of human development, is utilized as a model for assessing the implementation of gender equality at the local level. Ultimately, this study found a lack of gender equality implementation for SDGs at local institutions. It concludes that this could have been anticipated via a more comprehensive international legal framework, which could be implemented through national regulations.
