23 Sudha Singh: The imperatives of gender diversity for a sustainable future

I don't want to brag but in two weeks we will be 25 episodes old. So, I would like to thank my wonderful guests and listeners across the world for their unstinting support. The Elephant in the Room podcast is my continuous listening and learning project so I am pleased to say that it can be yours too - It is available on CIPR CPD Happy coincidence that today is Earth day and this episode is about the imperatives for gender diversity. A recent report places empowering women and girls as the second most important solution(amongst 76) for curbing global warming to 2 degree celsius. Gender equality is central to the SDGs any slowdown in achieving that will compromise the ability to achieve all of the SDG goals. 2030 is on the horizon and all stakeholders need to really hunker down if we are to meet targets on gender empowerment. In this episode I share stories about the what governments and businesses are doing and can do to ensure that girls and women are able to grow and thrive; my association with PRADAN; the UK governments Pledge for Progress initiative; the world benchmarking alliance; the business case and the moral imperative; legislation as a lever of progress; data etc....
