The 29th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) is well underway in Baku, Azerbaijan. As global temperatures reach record highs and extreme weather impacts communities worldwide, COP29 is bringing together leaders from government, business, and civil society to drive concrete solutions to the defining issue of our time. Schneider Electric’s Head of Institutional Affairs, Timothée Macé Duboisis joining the conversation and taking part in a panel discussion on ‘Scaling Up Green Jobs: Women, Skills and Social Dialogue in a Decarbonized Future’🌱🔋 The discussion centered around topics such that are addressed by #SchnedierElectric and Schneider Electric Foundation: 🌟How, through our Youth Education and Entrepreneurship program, are working to support vulnerable groups to shape a just, inclusive, and sustainable energy transition, given the current geopolitical context by bridging the skills gap. 🌟The current gender disparities and what some of the best practises are to break down the barriers that deter young women from taking part in the energy transition. #YouthUpskilling #ImpactCompany #YouthImpactThroughLearning Diane Le Goff Patricia Benchenna Francois MILIONI Marwa Hammad Ravishka Jairam
✅ Skills gap and gender gap are interconnected! The energy transition needs to be just and fair, ensuring that no one is left behind. I recently participated in a panel discussion at #COP29 on green skills, green jobs, women and social dialog. Together with great panelists like Dr. Pilvi Torsti from the European Training Foundation, Camilla Roman from ILO Geneva, Barbara Kauffmann from the European Commission, and Muskan Lodhi from the Building National Youth Climate Consortium India, we share views on how to ensure a just and inclusive energy transition. ➡️ Bridging the skills gap: highlighting the urgent need to equip the workforce with the skills required for a green economy. Schneider Electric Youth Impact Through Learning has empowered over 760,000 young people in energy management, addressing the 1 in 5 youth who are currently not in education, employment, or training ➡️ Gender equality and empowerment: addressing the underrepresentation of women in the energy sector. Some programs, like the Desfers initiative in the Sahel region, supported by our Foundation, empower women through training, electrification, and entrepreneurship. Thank you so much Romain Boitard for the invitation. Let's carry on the discussion! Gilles Vermot Desroches Patricia Benchenna Diane Le Goff Zanelle Dalglish Marwa Hammad
