Reflecting on My Journey: Bridging the Green Gender Gap 🌿💬 As we approach International Women’s Day, I'm shedding light on a crucial issue: the widening green gap for women in the professional landscape. Recent LinkedIn research reveals that only 1 in 10 women possess green skills or job experiences, lagging behind men at 1 in 6. This gap has expanded by 25% over the past seven years, underlining the urgency for change. Over the years, industries have seen men take the lead, leaving women to navigate the challenges of breaking into traditionally male-dominated sectors. Why does this gap persist? I ponder that women, myself included, often need that extra push to step out of comfort zones and challenge deep-rooted norms. It really takes a lot of power to defy the odds! The renewable energy industry, in particular, should not sideline women; it's time to expedite their inclusion and close this gap. So, what's our role in this narrative? To encourage, to raise awareness, to advocate for representation, to believe in the capabilities of women, to provide opportunities, and to invest in their skills. Let's think out loud together. Can we reshape the green industry for the better, with more women leading the way? Can we usher in an era where women play a pivotal role? I believe we can 💪 🌍 #GreenerTogether #IWD2024 #WomenInRenewables #GreenGenderGap #Sustainability #Consutlant #Entrepreneur

🌟Happy International Women's Day! 🎉 I'm so grateful to have such supportive and inspiring men in my life! ❤️ Today, as we commemorate International Women's Day, let us recognise the invaluable contributions of women in driving growth and financial innovation within the tech and renewable energy sectors. In an era where climate actions are imperative, the intersection of the need for renewable energy and financial challenges creates more opportunities for a more inclusive and sustainable future. Women should be more involved in this movement, reshaping the landscape of renewable energy with their vision, expertise, and determination. I recently came across an insightful publication titled "Breaking Physical Barriers to Inclusivity" by Energy UK, shedding light on the importance of inclusivity in the energy sector. This resource underscores the significance of empowering women and breaking down barriers to create a more diverse and equitable industry. #IWD2024 #investinwomen #RenewableEnergy #Finance #WomenLeadership #Sustainability #Innovation #womenintech #womenentrepreneurs #womeninfinance #womeninenergy [Read more about breaking barriers to inclusivity in the energy sector here](https://lnkd.in/euXcWmfS)

Women's leadership in sustainability is not just beneficial; it's imperative for our planet's future. 🌎 💫 🌿 Take a look at the Trailblazing Women in Climate 2024 list – a valuable resource to learn something new today… I'm inspired by the formidable impact of these women and the reminder that inclusivity strengthens our fight against climate challenges. 🏋♀️ #Sustainability #WomenLeaders #ClimateAction https://lnkd.in/gnrHEFFP

There is no solution to the climate crisis without women in the driving seat. If we want to accelerate change and build a more sustainable future for all, we need to invest in women. Here is why. 🔹 Climate change is not gender neutral. It is impacting women and girls’ health, food security, economic opportunities, and education, first and hardest. FAO released Unjust Climate, showing the worsening impact of climate change on women and girls. They calculated that a 1°C global temperature increase is associated with a 34% reduction in female-headed households’ income, compared to male-headed households. Women are also impacted more and at a greater risk of dying from climate-related disasters than men. 🔹 Women are central to the solutions. We must make sure women have a seat at the table, from the boardrooms to the village councils. Think about Wangari Maathai or Jane Goodall, and the young climate activists pushing Governments to act, such as Vanessa Nakate, Elizabeth Wathuti , O.G.W or Ineza Umuhoza Grace. I have seen myself on the ground numerous projects, aiming to help communities adapt to a changing climate. Most of them were led by women.  Women leadership brings transformational change, in all sectors of society. A 2019 study found that more women in parliaments led to the adoption of stronger climate change policies. This is true as well in the private sector. This is why we must fight to break the glass ceiling and claim our space at every decision-making level. 🔹 We need to invest more in women. Today, only 2.4% of climate finance targets gender specifically. Yet evidence shows, that if women were provided with the same access to resources as men, we could not only lift 100 to 150 million people out of hunger and add trillions to the world economy, but also cut 2.1 billion tons of emissions by 2050. 🔹 There will no progress for women when they are still discriminated and violated across the world. Today, women’s rights are under threat and one in three women experiences gender-based violence in her lifetime. We should keep fighting for women’s rights everywhere. On today’s International Women’s Day, and every day, we must keep pushing. We must urge our Government to prioritize women and girls. #iwd2024 #InvestInWomen

On this #InternationalWomen'sDay2024, I'm inspired by the theme 'Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress' and the campaign focus on 'Inspire Inclusion.' I believe these themes are not only relevant but crucial for driving positive change in our fight against climate change. Climate change affects everyone, but it disproportionately impacts marginalized communities, including women. Economic disempowerment exacerbates the challenges faced by women in the face of climate change. By investing in women, we can accelerate progress towards a more sustainable and resilient world. Women have unique perspectives, knowledge, and leadership skills to offer in finding innovative solutions to climate challenges. Inspiring inclusion is not only about recognizing the importance of women's voices in climate discussions but also about actively involving them in decision-making processes. We must create spaces where women are empowered to contribute their expertise, ideas, and solutions. By fostering diversity and inclusion, we can tap into a wealth of knowledge and experiences that will drive more effective and equitable climate action. Inclusion is not just a buzzword, it’s a fundamental principle that drives meaningful progress. By fostering an inclusive environment within our climate initiatives, we harness the full potential of diverse perspectives, knowledge, and solutions to tackle the climate crisis effectively. As we celebrate International Women's Day, let's recommit ourselves to investing in women, empowering diverse voices, and accelerating progress towards a sustainable and equitable future for all. #InternationalWomensDay #InvestInWomen #AccelerateProgress #ClimateAction #GenderEquality #DiversityAndInclusion #ClimateJustice

Happy (even perhaps not so happy) International Women's Day! This year, perhaps more than ever, we have seen a horrifying rise in global attacks against woman and their institutions that led on from the abhorrent attacks of the Iranian state against women who refused to wear the hijab. Whether that is the continuing rape and sexual assault by invading forces in Gaza, attacks on childbirth and now the cryogenically frozen eggs and embryos in clinics in the US, which include bringing charges against medical staff who both facilitate and also terminate unviable embryos. At least 26,000 women who have been taped have been forced to carry the baby in the USA, since the latest raft of state law changes after the repeal of Roe v Wade by SCOTUS. We would do well to remember Britt 5. From the 14 Characteristics of Fascism. "Rampant Sexism The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy." We need to amplify the voices of women, because civilisation is regressing to silence them again. In any event, Sian Young CHC from the Centre for Sustainable Action and SDG Assessment featured here talks about her journey as an entrepreneur and founder.

Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress! ⚡🌟 This International Women's Day, we celebrate the trailblazing women lighting up the global energy market. Over the years, we have been and continue to be in awe of the indomitable spirit and unwavering commitment of the women shaping the energy industry's narrative. From driving innovation to fostering sustainability and enabling collaboration, women play a pivotal role in powering progress and steering the world toward a cleaner energy future that ensures climate justice for all. Leveraging on the theme of this year’s celebration, investing in women will help us pave the way for a more inclusive society. Together, let's inspire inclusion, and empower women to thrive in all aspects of our society through mentorship, trainings, and skills development. Through the provision of these resources and more, women can be equipped to overcome the socio-cultural barriers that prevent them from reaching their full potentials. As we celebrate all our past and present heroines, let us also invest in the future of women and fortify our resolve to champion inclusion for a future where every woman’s potential is unleashed.
