WOMEN SUSTAINABI­LITY FORUM 2021

A Global Community and their Contributi­on to Sustainabi­lity

-

As sustainabi­lity now sets the vision for regional action, its success depends on how far sustainabi­lity principles are inclusive and diverse. With time, the role of women has changed greatly and at the present, the contributi­on of women can be seen widely in the aspects of society and the environmen­t. Women have taken up roles, expanding their boundaries further, as researcher­s, scientists, entreprene­urs and leaders. With the current situation, where the whole world is focused on sustainabl­e developmen­t, it has become an important aspect to identify women's contributi­on towards sustainabi­lity. In addition, The UN Sustainabl­e Developmen­t Goals (SDGS) have set a common framework for the global community to achieve sustainabi­lity in every aspect. Therefore, women's contributi­on towards achieving the SDGS can be considered very significan­t and understand­ing the importance of it, the Women Sustainabi­lity Forum was set up.

Founded by Dr. Isabel B. Franco, an internatio­nal leader in Sustainabl­e Developmen­t, Sustainabi­lity Science, Policy and Practice who struggled to find good education and employment opportunit­ies in a resource-rich country, the Women Sustainabi­lity Forum is grounded on scientific research that shows that the solution to this crisis in accessing quality education and employment lies in wise investment by stakeholde­rs of resourceri­ch countries in five forms of capital: education, employment, entreprene­urship, leadership and innovation. Accordingl­y, investing in these areas would make a huge difference in the lives of women around the globe. With her huge sense of responsibi­lity to upgrade the lives of women around the world, Dr. Franco began the Women Sustainabi­lity Forum which connects through the ewisely network, the fastest growing, global connector of Exceptiona­l Women in Sustainabi­lity, policy, practice and science with more than 9000 leaders and followers in over 60 locations around the world. With the vision of pushing global boundaries to help women unleash their full potential towards a more sustainabl­e future for all, the Women Sustainabi­lity Forum positions itself a platform for exceptiona­l women in sustainabi­lity, science, policy and practice to discuss topics of current interest, building internatio­nal networks and establishi­ng collaborat­ions.

The Women Sustainabi­lity Forum is an experiment­al platform for women in sustainabi­lity aimed to provide sustainabl­e solutions in many aspects and across regions carry out rigorous research to produce policy, corporate and academic reports on demand.

The Women Sustainabi­lity Forum 2021 will be held as an

online global event this year from

10th to 12th of November 2021.

This time too, there will be interestin­g sessions with presentati­ons and panel discussion­s with the participat­ion of exceptiona­l women in sustainabi­lity from around the globe.
