This paper provides an in-depth look into the opportunities that come from fostering a gender-just transition, and outlines the multipronged approach that is needed to practically integrate a gender lens into the green transition. This includes proactively addressing the barriers women face in the world of work; fostering decent work opportunities through sustainable approaches to women’s entrepreneurship, formal and informal work; and broadening the concept of green jobs to include sustainable forms of work largely dominated by women, such as care and social work. At the same time, there is scope to work with the private sector to complement public sector action at the company level, and a need to ensure women’s leadership in the green transition.
