Making Gender-Responsive Green Growth Happen

Women are key to green growth–as entrepreneurs, consumers and workers, stewards of natural resources, household and community leaders, and powerful agents for change.

Governments, businesses, financial institutions, and international organizations all have a role to play in ensuring the full and equal participation of women in the green economy, at all levels of decision making.

Building on a growing body of knowledge on the nexus of gender and green growth, the Donor Committee for Enterprise Development (DCED) has developed a set of practical guidance sheets focusing on gender-responsive green growth, including green innovation and entrepreneurship, green jobs and skills development, macro-economic policy and green growth strategies, green finance and green value chains.

On 11 December 2019, the GGKP and DCED will held a webinar to share key messages on gender-responsive national green growth strategies with lessons learned from country experience in West and Central Africa and Viet Nam.
