Women should not simply benefit from the green economy. They should help shape it.
That was one of the powerful ideas brought to the Green Economy stage at the EmpowaWomen Leadership Summit this past weekend, where Pam Yako joined other voices in exploring what a more inclusive green economy could mean for South Africa.
As the country moves towards a greener economy, the conversation is about more than environmental protection. It is about economic participation, industrialisation, opportunity and who gets to have a say in what comes next.
For women, that means creating more opportunities to lead, influence and make an impact across sectors.
From collaboration and networking to the importance of investing in yourself, the conversations at EmpowaWomen offered plenty to think about when it comes to building stronger, more purposeful leadership.
Watch highlights and reflections from Pam and other participants at the summit.
