GOAL 4: QUALITY EDUCATION
Achieving inclusive and quality education for all will ensure that every girl and boy completes free primary and secondary schooling by 2030.
Across Eurasia, in Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, UNDP’s climate curriculum reaches 50,000 pupils.
‘Children and youth bring energy and creative thinking to climate action. It’s our role to engage and empower them through innovative education and learning on climate change’ said Armen Grigoryan, Regional team leader for climate change, disaster and energy.

Nicole (third from left) is one of few women working on the ships and docks at the port of Port Victoria, Seychelles.
Nicole works for SOCOMEP, an enterprise that provides services for the Seychelles’ largest industry – industrial tuna fishing. It stands out for its inclusion of women across all areas of the company’s work, including its managerial and scientific units.
Recently, UN Women visited Seychelles in continuation of a project with the Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA). IORA is committed to advancing sustainable development and recognizes the Blue Economy and the empowerment of women and girls as important areas for collaboration in the dynamic and diverse communities of the region. Healthy oceans are important sources of livelihoods for billions around the world, including women. This is especially true for regions such as the Indian Ocean Rim. However, women have often been excluded from traditionally male-dominated employment, such as the fishing industry.

Goals were scored for gender equality across the river from the United Nations, as the Global Goals World Cup took place on 19 September in Brooklyn, New York, to raise awareness on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
“Women from all over the world have come here today to make the world a better place by using the power of sport to raise awareness on the SDGs,” Crown Princess Mary of Denmark said at the opening of the tournament, adding, “Sport has the power to change the world.”
One of the participating teams was the SDG5 Dream Team, a team composed of strong gender equality activists working towards changing the realities of women in their countries, each of them nominated by a high-level personality. Dina Smailova from Kazakhstan, who was nominated by UN Women Executive Director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, played to raise awareness on sexual violence. A survivor of gang rape, with support from UN Women, she has consulted, guided and supported 200 women survivors in Kazakhstan and was instrumental in winning seven sexual violence cases just in the past year. Speaking at the event, Ms. Smailova encouraged women around the world to speak out and share their stories. “Don’t be silent, and you will be helped,” she said.
