Karahan explained that the 5th of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, grouped under the Green Deal, aims to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.
Emphasizing that women inherently have more sustainable consumption capabilities and tend to have more influence in household energy decisions, Karahan concluded, ‘Empowering women and girls and reducing household energy consumption are crucial milestones to achieve the goals set under the Green Deal. Circular economy is an economic model that reduces waste and pollution, allowing resources to be used more efficiently. Implementing this model leads to the emergence of new job opportunities and entrepreneurial opportunities. It is essential to equally offer these opportunities to women for both the economic empowerment of women and the success of the circular economy. With digital transformation, a new world order is being established. Educated, equipped, and strong women, leveraging technology effectively in this new order, should not only turn opportunities into reality but also contribute to the transformation of societies with reason, common sense, and a sense of justice. Happy International Women’s Day on March 8th.
