To celebrate International Women’s Day 2024, Counterpart International—together with EnCompass LLC, Chemonics International, and the Saudat Salami Foundation—organized a hybrid half-day event on March 5, 2024, consisting of two panels and a roundtable discussion. The goal was to better understand the challenges that diverse groups of women around the world face in accessing and leading in the green and blue economies, and to hear their priorities for advancing a more women-inclusive and sustainable sector that could contribute to global economic growth and food security.
The following white paper reflects many of the themes that surfaced during the event, as well as additional desk research, on the realities of and potential solutions for emerging women leaders in the growing green and blue economies.
