Abstract
The green economy presents a critical opportunity to address
environmental challenges while fostering sustainable economic growth. However,
gender disparities persist in this evolving sector, with women often
underrepresented in leadership roles, technical positions, and decision-making
processes. As the world shifts toward sustainable development and green
economic practices, the inclusion of women in this evolving sector is both a
necessity and an opportunity. However, significant gender disparities persist
in access to green jobs, leadership roles, and technical education related to
the green economy. This paper explores the critical role that training and
education play in bridging these gaps. It highlights existing barriers such as
limited access to STEM education, gender biases in vocational training, and
socio-economic constraints, while showcasing successful initiatives that
empower women through targeted green skills development. Drawing on global case
studies and policy analyses, the study advocates for inclusive education
models, community-driven training programs, and gender-responsive policies that
can create equitable pathways for women in the green economy. By equipping
women with relevant skills and knowledge, we can foster a more inclusive,
innovative, and sustainable future.
