It is the meeting point between gender equality and sustainable development that is turning out to be the crucial one in the situation of global climate crises and socio-economic transformations. This paper discusses the nature of female empowerment of growth and sustenance of green industry. It presupposes that women are not only beneficiaries, but key agents of change in the transition to the low-carbon resource-efficient and more democratic industrial paradigm. The paper will address how gender-inclusive policies, green entrepreneurial opportunities, and removal of systemic barriers in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and leadership might be useful in accelerating the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 5 (Gender Equality), 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), and 13 (Climate Action).The study will examine the best practices in the world, the gender gaps that have existed in the green industrial sector and the multiplier impact of women empowerment on innovation, community resilience and sustainable economic outcomes using a mixed-method approach. The findings will offer a solid guideline to policymakers, industry leaders and the civil society to use the full potential of women leadership and participation in creating a sustainable industrial future.
