She Goes Green
$0.00
Green economies are defined as economies that result in improved human well-being and social equity, while significantly reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities.
Ecological challenges, natural disasters and unsustainable natural resource management disproportionately affect the poor in developing countries.
Since women constitute the majority of the world’s poor and are comparatively more dependent on scarce natural resources, they suffer in particular from these effects and the repercussions of climate change.
