Year: 2026
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Purpose: The goal of this work is to analyze and show the importance of the role of women in decision-making regarding climate change. Women are recognized both nationally and globally as important bearers of important roles and changes when it comes to sustainable energy sources, climate change and other issues related to sustainable development. Design/Methods/Approach: We have singled out recent research that clearly proves that the role of women is really very important when deciding on measures to mitigate climate change... It should be pointed out that in poor areas, women are still exclusively assigned housewives as primary jobs. Findings: Although there are still men’s and women’s jobs, it is important to point out that this division is slowly being neutralized. Available data indicate that more and more women are involved in the decision-making and management process when dealing with issues of sustainable energy, climate change and the environment. Originality/Value: There are clear observations that the role of women in decision-making is a little more favorable than it was in the past two decades. Women still encounter obstacles in their advancement, but research shows that a number of initiatives and projects are being implemented that strengthen the role and position of women in society.
