Abstract

This book chapter explores the significant role of women leaders in environmental management and their impact on sustainable development. Historically, women have been underrepresented in leadership positions in the environmental sector, but in recent years, their contributions and achievements have gained recognition worldwide. The chapter begins by discussing the barriers and challenges that women have faced in accessing leadership roles in environmental management. It examines social, cultural, and institutional factors that have limited women's participation and advancement in this field. Despite these obstacles, the chapter highlights the success stories of pioneering women leaders who have defied societal norms and shattered glass ceilings to make a difference in environmental conservation and sustainability. The chapter then delves into the unique perspectives and approaches that women bring to environmental management.
