Damilola Ogunbiyi, CEO of Sustainable Energy for All, and Wanjira Mathai, Managing Director for Africa at the World Resources Institute, highlight the pivotal role of African women in tackling energy poverty and climate change. Despite facing disproportionate impacts, women are leading innovative ventures like Baridi and Wala Clean Energy, offering sustainable solutions in agriculture and clean tech. However, funding and gender parity remain challenges. Initiatives like the African Women Impact Fund and Zayed Sustainability Prize are stepping up to support women entrepreneurs. With inclusive policies and investment, women-led initiatives can drive economic growth while safeguarding the planet.
