N2 - The study investigated the influence of environmental conservation on climate intervention and explored how women empowerment mediates between the both. Using survey questionnaire, 246 responses were collected from Saudi women. To understand these associations, Smart PLS-SEM version 4 was employed for data analysis. This study significantly supported all the hypotheses; environmental conservation has a positive significant impact on climate intervention (β = 0.552; p = 0.003). The research verified that women empowerment plays a mediating role, with statistical significance (β = 0.267; p = 0.015), highlighting their crucial function as key drivers in advancing sustainable development. The study's conclusion highlighted the value of women's empowerment as a link between combating climate change and environmental preservation. Saudi women are found to have sufficient knowledge on environment and have mobility in resources, and be good decision-makers. By identifying and leveraging the unique talents of women, policymakers and practitioners may develop more inclusive and effective strategies for decreasing environmental challenges and building climate resilient communities, thereby helping to realize the goals of Saudi Vision 2030. This study contributes to the ongoing discourse regarding the interplay between gender, climate resilience, and environmental sustainability by endorsing all-encompassing approaches that empower women to be agents of change.
