Abstract

Women leaders in environmental management face unique opportunities and challenges in both developed and developing countries. In developed countries, opportunities include progressive policies, well-established institutions, and greater access to resources. Women can access quality education and training programs, legal frameworks promoting gender equality, and professional networks. However, in developed countries, women face challenges such as deep-rooted gender biases, stereotypes, and the 'glass ceiling' phenomenon, which limits women's representation in top decision-making positions. In developing countries, women leaders can engage with local communities and integrate traditional knowledge and sustainable practices into environmental management strategies. Limited resources and infrastructure in developing countries foster innovation and creativity, allowing them to develop contextualized solutions that address environmental challenges efficiently. However, challenges in developing countries include traditional gender roles, cultural norms, and resource constraints.
