From Marginalization to Participation How Gender Equality Shapes Environmental Futures

The shift from marginalization to active participation of women in environmental management roles can dramatically shape a more sustainable future. Historically, women have been underrepresented in decision-making processes regarding land use, conservation, and climate action, despite being highly impacted by these decisions. Correcting this imbalance through gender equality initiatives allows for the incorporation of diverse perspectives, leading to more robust and sustainable solutions to environmental challenges. Therefore, gender equality is a critical step towards realizing a more inclusive and sustainable environmental future.
