WOMEN in GREEN
In the realm of Green Economy Opportunities, gender disparities continue to widen. Due to the scarcity of women possessing requisite educational backgrounds and expertise in environmental and science-related fields, as indicated by current societal trends. By empowering more women in the green sector and harnessing their innate strengths, such as compassion and leadership, in policy formulation, we can collectively realize a more sustainable future.
