Ghana Highlights Women’s Role in Green Economy at UN

Ghana at UN

In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the urgent need to address climate change and promote sustainable development across the globe. Africa, with its rich natural resources and diverse ecosystems, is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.

As the continent strives to transition towards a green economy, it is essential to ensure that women are at the forefront of this transformation. By empowering women and addressing gender inequalities, Africa can unlock its full potential for sustainable development and poverty reduction.

The 68th session of the Commission on the Status of Women has shed light on the importance of placing women at the heart of financing the green transition in Africa. The session emphasized the need for targeted strategies that accelerate gender equality and combat poverty.

Ghana’s delegation to the 68th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) has actively advocated for women’s empowerment within the context of environmental sustainability.

This advocacy was highlighted through its participation in a high-level panel discussion titled “Placing Women at the Heart of Financing the Green Transition in Africa: Strategies to Accelerate Gender Equality and Fight Poverty.”

This event, hosted at the Nelson Mandela Auditorium at the Permanent Observation of the African Union (AU) and co-hosted by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), aimed to foster collaboration among ECOWAS ministers for women and gender.

“Ensuring women’s access to productive resources and financial services is essential for sustainable development. Investing in women’s skills development is key to empowering them as agents of change.”

Ghana’s Deligation

Access to finance and resources is crucial for women to actively participate in the green transition. This includes providing affordable credit, training, and support for women-led enterprises in the renewable energy and sustainable agriculture sectors.

Additionally, the Ghanaian delegation engaged in an interactive expert panel discussion on the CSW’s priority theme, further demonstrating Ghana’s commitment to advancing gender equality globally.

Climate financing mechanisms must be gender-responsive, ensuring women can access and benefit from these resources. This includes designing climate finance instruments that address the specific needs and priorities of women, as well as tracking the gender impacts of investments in the green sector.

As emphasized in the session, “Promoting gender-responsive climate finance is essential for achieving gender equality and sustainable development.” By integrating gender considerations into climate finance mechanisms, Africa can unlock the potential of women as change agents and foster inclusive and sustainable development.

Promoting Women in Green Transition

Ghana’s approach to promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment is multifaceted, involving collaboration with traditional authorities, faith-based leaders, civil society, and other stakeholders to promote positive socio-cultural norms and gender equality.

This has led to the development of a national framework to address gender inequalities and harmful cultural practices, significantly advancing gender equality, equity, and empowerment. Ghana has proposed five strategic directions for the global community: establishing and fortifying social protection systems for vulnerable women and girls; adopting gender-responsive budgeting processes; ensuring universal access to quality education and healthcare for women and girls; enacting and enforcing legislative reforms to eradicate gender bias; and fostering global partnerships to share best practices and resources in gender equality initiatives.

Increasing women’s representation in leadership and decision-making positions is essential to achieve gender equality and promote inclusive decision-making processes. Women’s voices and perspectives are crucial for shaping policies, strategies, and investments related to the green transition.

As highlighted in the session, “Women’s leadership and participation in decision-making are fundamental for addressing climate change.” By ensuring women’s meaningful participation in decision-making platforms, Africa can harness their expertise, experiences, and insights to drive sustainable development and combat poverty effectively.

Placing women at the heart of financing the green transition in Africa is not only a matter of gender equality but also a strategic imperative for sustainable development and poverty reduction. The 68th session of the Commission on the Status of Women highlighted the importance of targeted strategies to accelerate gender equality and combat poverty.

By enhancing access to finance and resources, building women’s capacities and skills, promoting women’s leadership and decision-making, and fostering gender-responsive climate financing, Africa can empower women to drive the green transition effectively.

Embracing these strategies will not only lead to a more inclusive and sustainable future but also unlock Africa’s potential for economic growth and poverty eradication in Africa.
