GWNET in partnership with the Clean Energy Solutions Center, will host this webinar as the second in a six-part webinar series on Gender Equality for a More Rapid and Inclusive Energy Transition. This webinar will review job opportunities along the value chain in renewable energy for women and youth and mentoring and training programmes supporting them.

 

Presentations will highlight major reports and initiatives including:

• Renewable Energy: A Gender Perspective from IRENA, this report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) examines the question of gender equity throughout the sector. Building on a ground-breaking survey of employees, companies and institutions, it finds that much remains to be done to boost women’s participation and allow their talents to be fully utilised.
