“…Whilst social entrepreneurship and other impact entrepreneurial models are widespread, their gender-blindness reinforces their co-option by the existing hegemonic system. Feretti and de Souza (2022), (p. 276) note that “entrepreneurial discourses present entrepreneurship as gender-neutral, positioning the male entrepreneur as “normal” and the female as the “other”,” impacting who may become an entrepreneur and reinforcing a problematic gender binary in entrepreneurship that overshadows and overlooks those on the margins. When combined with First Nations approaches, a significant gap in current models and theories on entrepreneurship urgently need to be addressed if we are to succeed in cultivating a climate just entrepreneurial future.…”

PurposeThis paper aims to explore synergies between feminist, first nations and queer theories and social, circular and climate entrepreneurship, to build a framework for supporting climate just entrepreneurship.Design/methodology/approachThis paper draws on an extensive qualitative review of the literature on gender justice, equality, social entrepreneurship, the circular economy, climate entrepreneurship and climate action, as well as theorising feminist, first nations and queer approaches to climate action through entrepreneurship.FindingsWhilst climate change is a “threat multiplier” for existing gender (and other) inequalities, gaps remain in engraining gender equality and gender justice principles in social, circular and climate entrepreneurship. Through analysing the literature for critical gaps and theorising at the intersection of climate entrepreneurship and feminist, first nations and queer theories, the authors advocate that a framework for climate just entrepreneurship could play a pivotal role in combining proactive climate action and gender equality measures through entrepreneurship. It could also be a significant step towards ensuring entrenched, systemic inequalities are not perpetuated in nascent and rapidly evolving fields such as the circular economy, social enterprise and climate entrepreneurship.Originality/valueThe literature on climate entrepreneurship is burgeoning, yet key entrepreneurial concepts lack an explicitly feminist or gender lens approach, even whilst being inextricably linked to effective climate action. This paper seeks to rectify this gap by promoting climate just entrepreneurship as a model for effective climate action.
