What is Women In Green Economy?

The Women In Green Economy Series recognizes women's integral role in the green economy transition, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Ensuring women actively engage in emerging green jobs is crucial for a fair transition. Africa's Green Economy Summits, Women In Green Economy platform brings global female experts together, fostering collaboration in a traditionally male-dominated industry. Celebrating strength and success, the Women In Green Economy is part of the great Women In (W.IN) brand which empowers women worldwide, emphasizing inclusivity, connectivity, and leadership. Aligning with the vision and purpose of fostering a global community, W.IN believes in breaking down silos and creating connections. This involves dismantling societal, economic, and cultural barriers while encouraging collaboration to unite people, communities, and institutions. By embracing these principles, W.IN envisions an inclusive, interconnected world where every woman can thrive, contributing meaningfully to society and organizations alike, starting in Africa. #winingtogether #womenempowerment
