GWNET was proud to co-organise a session at COP29’s Gender Day, alongside International Solar Alliance , International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), and International Solar Energy Society ISES. At the session, "Women in Energy: Empowering Change and Driving Innovation," Christine Lins, our Executive Director, delivered a virtual inaugural address, where she emphasised women’s critical role in the global energy transition. The event highlighted successful initiatives to uplift women in energy and climate action, and also addressed barriers to women’s participation in this area. We hope this session can give rise to relevant collaborative efforts to further support women working in energy. #WomenInEnergy #COP29 #GenderDay #ClimateAction

Integrating gender perspectives into climate action and finance policies is critical, especially as women are disproportionally affected by climate change. Research underscores that integrating gender considerations into the energy value chain enhances productivity and economic outcomes. However, women-led SMEs face significant financial challenges, particularly in emerging and developing economies. Addressing these obstacles is essential for empowering women-led enterprises in clean energy and cleantech. Join the #GenderEnergyCompact at #COP29 to advocate for equal access to finance and capital for women entrepreneurs! 👉 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gtY5FXRJ #genderequality #climatefinance #cleanenergy #climateaction #justtransition #women #equality #COP29 #SDG7 #SDG5 The Gender and Energy Compact UNIDO GWNET: Global Women's Network for the Energy Transition ENERGIA - International Network on Gender and Sustainable Energy Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) Energy Community Hivos

⚡ Towards a Just Transition: Women in Energy and Climate #Gender #equality in climate decision-making often remains overlooked, undermining effective climate action. Despite frameworks like the Paris Agreement emphasizing the importance of gender-responsive transitions to low-carbon economies, women’s participation in climate negotiations is still limited. Women, particularly in developing countries, play crucial roles in managing natural resources and building climate resilience. Yet, their involvement in sustainable energy planning is minimal, impeding progress towards inclusive growth. At #COP29, several events at the UNIDO Pavilion on Gender Day – November 21st – will explore these critical themes and showcase best practices for a sustainable and inclusive energy future. Join the #GenderEnergyCompact and our partners at #COP29 for engaging sessions on: 🌟 Session 1: The power of finance: Women’s Leadership for a just energy transition 🌟Session 2: Women Leading the Change: Advocacy for a Just Energy Transition 🌟Session 3: Empowering Young Women: Innovative Energy Solutions for our Future Generation 👉 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eZ5DXy5h *The Gender and Energy Compact co-coveners: ENERGIA - International Network on Gender and Sustainable Energy, GWNET: Global Women's Network for the Energy Transition, UNIDO and Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) #GenderEquality #ClimateFinance #WomenEmpowerment #COP29 Hivos

Excited and hopeful as I step into #COP29! This is more than a conference, it’s actually a chance to amplify youth voices, especially young women, who are on the frontlines of climate action. I'm here to listen, learn, and push for real commitments that reflect our needs and dreams. I cannot wait to engage with diverse perspectives, sharing experiences, and pushing for impactful commitments. I’m open to speaking opportunities and moderating session around #ClimateFinance, #FeministCimateJustice and #Energy and #JustTransition. Let's shape a future where youth and women lead the way toward a fairer, more sustainable world.
