The term Sustainable stands for sustainability and it represents an approach to development which is concerned with such fundamental human problems like poverty, environment, equality, democracy, development and peace. The 17 Goals were adopted by all UN Member States in 2015, as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development which set out a 15-year plan to achieve the Goals. Now only ten years left to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. So the world leaders at the SDG Summit in September 2019 called for a decade of action and delivery for sustainable development, and pledged to mobilize financing, enhance national implementation and strengthen institutions to achieve the Goals by the target date of 2030.In this context Womens active participation of women is vital for ensuring sustainable development. Equality between men and women is also a precondition for sustainable development. In sustainable development it requires a strategic perspective to take into account what the next generation of women and men are leaving. Womens contribution to sustainable development, and their knowledge and skills, must be recognized. Women have a strong role in educating and socializing their children, including teaching them how to take care and responsibility with regard to the use and protection of natural resources. Today, women are still underrepresented among those who take the decisions in legislation adminstration that will impact future generations. Without a more fair distribution of resources today and tomorrow, sustainable development can not be achieved: the predominant disparities are strongly gendered. A vital prerequisite for pursuing sustainable development is to recognize this and act upon it.
