Fostering Green Entrepreneurship Education and the Socioeconomic Inclusion of Women in the South Caucasus Region

Abstract

This research investigates the challenges and opportunities for fostering green entrepreneurship among women in Azerbaijan and Georgia, post-Soviet republics grappling with transitioning economies. Employing qualitative data from interviews with nine female entrepreneurs and green policy experts, alongside legislative analysis and descriptive statistics, the study illuminates a significant gap in understanding and utilization of green economy practices among these entrepreneurs. Despite their successes, participants faced hurdles in incorporating green principles, including regulatory complexities and resource limitations. Collaboration between government, civil society, and the private sector emerges as crucial for supporting women entrepreneurs in embracing sustainability initiatives. The findings underscore the need for enhanced awareness and educational efforts to promote green practices and facilitate collaboration, thereby advancing sustainable development goals in the region.
