The international community has committed to making every effort to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, yet we remain disturbingly behind when it comes to meeting the targets for achievement of gender equality and empowering all women and girls. The SDG indicators measuring progress on this goal signal that, globally, we are only on track to reach 15.4 per cent of the targets set for gender equality. Even more worrisome is the fact that 61.5 per cent of the gender equality targets are far or very far off track.

The infographic on "Trinidad's Traffic Study" outlines key challenges and recommendations for addressing traffic congestion in Trinidad. It offers several short- to medium-term solutions aimed at enhancing public transportation, such as making it more attractive and reliable, improving paratransit services for "first and last mile" transportation, and bolstering public safety for both commuters and service providers. Telecommuting is also suggested as a way to reduce the need for physical commuting. For a long-term solution, the study emphasizes the importance of establishing an efficient, multi-modal transportation system, improving school bus services, and decentralizing public services. Enhanced spatial planning and better traffic management for seasonal and annual events are also recommended. Additional details about the study are available via a provided link.

This infographic from Study 110 explores the role of Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) in driving sustainable development in the Caribbean. While STI is recognized as crucial for progress, the study finds that many Caribbean nations have yet to prioritize it, and existing policies remain underdeveloped. The current driver of change in the region is renewable energy, influenced by factors such as reliance on expensive imported fossil fuels, falling costs of renewable energy technologies, and international commitments to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. To foster STI advancement, the study recommends promoting an STI culture, enhancing institutional support, increasing funding, integrating STI into education, and encouraging collaboration between governments, private sectors, and research institutions.

True or False: Are there gender inequalities in Education in the Caribbean? The infographic titled "Education Inequalities" explores gender disparities in education and employment across the Caribbean. It highlights notable progress in educational access, with both genders benefiting, especially in primary and secondary education. However, the data reveals that girls generally outperform boys academically, particularly in fields like biology, physics, and IT. On the other hand, boys excel in subjects such as mathematics and economics. A significant concern is the drastic drop in male participation at the tertiary education level, with women enrolling at almost twice the rate of men. This discrepancy raises critical questions about persistent gender gaps in employment and wages, despite women's higher educational achievements. The infographic emphasizes the importance of gender equality in achieving sustainable development goals and full human potential in the Caribbean.
