A new white paper from MIT titled the "Women Waste-Climate Nexus" describes the central role woman entrepreneurs have in tackling the global waste crisis. They find that women, particularly those in emerging economies, hold a unique position in combatting the global waste crisis within the circular economy. To support these entrepreneurs effectively, we need to embed a gender lens in climate investments, increase female representation in fund management, and build an inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem. Delia Khaled added that: "We need to break down silos and take a holistic, coordinated approach to building this ecosystem. We need radical collaboration that gets new voices around the table" Read more here: https://lnkd.in/e3F7js6H

There are many women operating in the waste and resource sector that are making a significant impact. What I find interesting about this article is that it asserts the reason industry needs more women is that they care more about the destruction about the planet. I'm not sure I agree. Almost everyone I work with is very passionate and invested in doing what they can to halt the impacts of climate change, male and female. What does make an impact is the different perspectives that people bring and how that contributes to innovation and improvements in the sector.

🌏 Embracing #GenderEquity in Circular Futures - Australia's Path to Sustainability - In my role as Global Chair for Circular Economy (G100: Mission Million) I am pleased to announce the establishment of the G100 Circular Economy Wing in Australia represented by Mansi Zaveri. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in our collective efforts to foster inclusive ecosystems and recognize the indispensable contributions of women in driving our transition towards sustainable and resilient futures within the #CircularEconomy framework. 🇦🇺 Australia stands at the cusp of a transformative journey towards a circular economy, recognizing the urgency to shift away from the unsustainable 'take-make-waste' model. As recent research and policy initiatives highlight, the transition is not merely a paradigm shift but a systematic overhaul impacting government, business, and consumers alike. CSIRO's report underscores Australia's material use dynamics, signaling a pressing need to bolster circularity efforts. 🌐 #CrossCulturalPartnerships: As we navigate this transformative journey, the significance of cross-cultural and interdisciplinary partnerships, including the education sector, is essential to drive inclusive circular solutions and navigate complex challenges effectively. 🚺 #GenderEquity: Women play an essential role in progressing within the circular economy movement, assuming leadership roles across industries and becoming essential partners throughout the supply chain in advancing regenerative initiatives. However, addressing the underrepresentation of women at different levels remains crucial for achieving inclusive growth and effectively tackling the multifaceted intersections of climate, environment, biodiversity, and gender. Their involvement is pivotal in fostering sustainable development cooperation across all sectors. Mansi Zaveri is a perfect representative for our wing to foster contextual necessary discussions about gender equity in circular sectors in #Australia with a special focus on #WestAustralia (WA). Mansi is the founder of CIRCULAR FIBRES, a start-up focused on Research & Analysis and Policy Advocacy, and education in various industry sectors. Mansi is an alumna of the United Nations Systems Staff College’s ‘Circular Economy and the 2030 Agenda program. She is also a qualified Australian Institute of Company Directors, part of various state and national research consortiums and think tank groups as the Circular Economy Lead at the United Nations Association of Australia (Office UNAAWA). She is also a board member of Australian Graduate Women (AGW), an affiliate of Graduate Women International (GWI), which holds a contributory voice at the United Nations and other international agencies. She represents AGW on the Equality Rights Alliance (ERA) and Harmony Alliance - two of six National Women’s Alliances actively engaging with the Government through the Office for Women on Policy issues.
