Advocacy Campaign on Women in Green Industry Green industry has the potential to deliver on both environmental and economic objectives of the economy and its long-term benefits

Green industry aims at mainstreaming environmental, climate and social considerations into the operations of enterprises. The greening of existing and the creation of new green industries has great potential to minimize harmful impact of climate change, environmental degradation and natural disasters on women’s livelihoods and food security. This may be considered as an entry point to achieve inclusive and sustainable industrial development, which is the core principle of UNIDO.

The campaign highlights that women are important agents of change and play an active and substantial role in the management and conservation of natural resources, hence a more equal inclusion of both women and men could propel green industry and lead to better development outcomes. The advocacy campaign on “Women in Green Industry” advocates the fact that enabling policy environment coupled with deliberate action by government, the private sector, and development practitioners among others, are necessary to utilize the full potential of women’s participation in green growth.
