Abstract

Women have played vital roles as environmental leaders within civil society across the globe. Women's participation in environmental decision-making promotes gender equality and environmental action. Involving women in political decision-making leads to more aggressive climate objectives and policies. Women in civic society form formidable networks to resist environmental degradation and address climate-related injustices.Women's environmental leadership offers a myriad of benefits, contributing to both environmental sustainability and societal progress. By occupying leadership roles, women inspire others, particularly young women, to pursue careers and activism in environmental fields, thereby fostering greater diversity and inclusivity within these sectors. Women leaders are increasingly influential in shaping environmental policies and agendas at local, national, and international levels. This chapter will aim to look into the various roles of women as vital change makers and leaders in the domain of environmental protection and sustainable development in the civil society.
