The role of gender in environmental decision-making is increasingly recognized as crucial, as gender dynamics influence access to resources, participation in governance, and the impacts of environmental policies. Women, often more affected by environmental changes, possess unique knowledge and perspectives that can enhance sustainability efforts. Their inclusion in decision-making processes can lead to more equitable and effective environmental strategies. Promoting gender equality not only empowers women but contributes to better resource management and environmental outcomes. Understanding and addressing gender roles in environmental issues fosters inclusive approaches that benefit both communities and ecological systems.
