The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, aims to accomplish houses for all. Men and women are equally responsible for consuming accessible, green, and public spaces, affordable housing and basic services and upgrade slums, sustainable urbanization, protecting cultural and natural heritage, disaster management, paying special attention to air quality and municipal and other waste management, and helping underdeveloped countries through financial and producing the resources. So both can equally participate to achieve them. As women are a major role in SDGs, their education, awareness, and active participation are essential for achieving the targets. "In the sustainable development approach, the main problem is the attitude of human beings as the consumers and producers. That's why it was discussed during the UN Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 and it reaffirms the vital role of women and the need for their full and equal participation and leadership in all areas of sustainable development and decided to accelerate the elimination of all kind of Discrimination against Women" (Yildiz, 2016). 12) Responsible Consumption-Production and Women: Women particularly those from socially and economically disadvantaged socio-cultural and economic layers, are harmed by unsustainable production, waste generation, and pollution. Women are impacted by the depletion of natural resources, which they rely on for survival. Women frequently face bad working circumstances in areas of the workforce that are becoming increasingly "feminized." Women in poor nations are increasingly performing unpaid and informal labour in industries such as textiles and waste management, resulting in increased involuntary and misinformed exposure to dangerous products and chemicals. Women are more susceptible to harmful side effects. (https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/sites/7ff96708-en/ index.html? item Id=/content/component/7ff96708- en) In India as well, the same situation is present for women. It has a male dominating society. Thus women's sufferings are uncountable. 13) Climate Action and Women: United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change 2020, briefed that "Climate change has a greater impact on those sections of the population, in all countries, that are most reliant on natural resources for their livelihoods and/or who have the least capacity to respond to natural hazards, such as droughts, landslides, floods, and hurricanes. Women commonly face higher risks and greater burdens from the impacts of climate change in situations of poverty, and the majority of the world’s poor are women. Women contribute to sustainable development but they are also affected by the implications of environmental degradation and the negative effects of climate change" (https:// unfccc.int/gender) Personal actions to prevent climate: Special Euro Barometer/Wave 72.1 According to this Euro Barometer, women are more actively participate in achieving the goal of climate conservation by their acts. Warth & Koparanova (2012) mentioned that the Euro barometer survey on attitudes towards climate change in 2009 found that women more often than men reported to have undertaken personal actions such as recycling, saving water and energy at home, and using environmentally-friendly transports. The OECD also found that "men generally tend to perform energy-saving activities less often than women" (OECD, 2011: 67). India is the world's third-largest emitter of carbon dioxide, accounting for 6.9% of worldwide emissions. India finally ratified the historic Paris Agreement on October 2, 2016. India has pledged to reduce its GDP-related emissions by 20-25 percent by 2020. The Indian government has also created a National Action Plan on Climate Change, as well as a National Mission for Green India, to directly address this issue. These national plans are supplemented by a slew of individual programmes focusing on solar energy, improved energy efficiency, sustainable habitats, water, the preservation of the Himalayan ecology, and the promotion of strategic climate knowledge.

UN report says- "The world's oceans—spreading over 70 percent of the planet—are in crisis from decimated fish stocks, pollution, and acidification. Sustainable management is essential since oceanic changes can result in globally significant climate shifts. Equally vital is the protection of human livelihoods. Nearly a billion people, 12 percent of the global population, depend on oceans, seas, and marine resources. Women are the most venerable who face the risks of ocean degradation with fewer assets and alternatives for income who are mainly involved in fish processing and marketing on very low pay without any health safety and labor rights. The maritime business is managed by men. According to the data, in 2016, only one of the top 100 seafood companies was run by a woman.
