about

In collaboration with partners and investors, the Women Sustainability Forum (in-situ and online) aims to discuss best practices, impact research and entrepreneurial endeavours concerning women, sustainability, leadership and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Launched in 2015, the Women Sustainability Forum has taken the form of workshops, seminars and group discussions in various regions across the globe. 

The Women Sustainability Forum is a platform intended to discuss case studies that cut across various areas of sustainability science, policy and practice. The way that women are represented or challenged within disruptive industries and challenging environments, the linkages with the industry,  socio-environmental and economic sustainability issues, attraction and retention of women in sustainability at the work place, inclusive sustainable business models, women entrepreneurs and implications for their livelihoods, for example, are some of the topics the forum covers.
