Date: Wednesday, 12 March November 2024

Time: 2:00 p.m.–3:30 p.m. GMT+8

With women entrepreneurship catching up—albeit slowly—with male entrepreneurship, ensuring women business owners have access to resources, financing, technologies, and other resources becomes more urgent given worsening risks from climate change. 

This webinar examines policies, financial instruments, and digital solutions that can help women entrepreneurs scale their businesses while contributing to global climate goals.

The event marks the launch of the webinar series, Propelling Women Eco-Entrepreneurship into a Sustainable Future, a collaborative effort by the Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) Gender Equality Division and Southeast Asia Development Solutions (SEADS), United Nations Environment Programme, and UN Women, to spotlight the transformative role of women in driving sustainable development.
