Women Accelerating Climate Action in Egypt

Under the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (2023-2027), this business case highlights UN Women Egypt Country Office (ECO) on-going contributions and emerging partnerships to accelerate Egypt’s climate action by increasing the access of a diverse range of women to decent employment in agriculture, renewable energy, and science, technology, engineering and math (STEM)- related sectors. Working within these sectors, increasing women’s empowerment through access to employment will be achieved through reskilling and upskilling programmes; advancing women entrepreneur’s competitiveness in value chains and markets; improving opportunities for capacity-development and investment; supporting women’s unpaid care in the home so as to be economically active; and increasing women’s leadership.
