Currently, women make up just 32% of the global renewable energy workforce. This statistic, highlighted in the International Renewable Energy Agency's report Renewable Energy: A Gender Perspective, underscores a significant gender gap in the industry. Bridging this gap is not just a matter of fairness: it's essential for building a truly inclusive and equitable Clean Economy. At Evident, we're deeply committed to gender equity, recognising the invaluable contributions women bring to the green economy. We're dedicated to ensuring that their voices and innovations drive the sustainable world of tomorrow. Hear from some of our incredible team members as they share their insights on why women's inclusion is vital to climate mitigation: #Evident #WomeninGreenBusiness

At Evident, we are passionate about the future of the planet. That is why, over 25 years ago, our CEO helped establish the first markets for I-RECs, which are an important part of the transition to a #CleanEconomy.     We provide end-to-end certification in line with international standards, to help ensure that renewable energy is bought and sold with trust.     Our services underpin sustainability reporting in many countries and for thousands of organisations around the world.    Read more about our certification process via the link in the comments.  

Statistics show that women are disproportionately impacted by climate change. They’re also underrepresented in the fast-growing clean economy.   ­­ Applying a gender lens to #ClimateAction can help tackle these inequities and accelerate progress.   ­ This includes ensuring women’s full participation by addressing systemic barriers, increasing women's involvement in climate decision-making, and promoting upskilling and gender-inclusive employment opportunities within the #GreenEconomy.    Let us know what you think the best way to promote women in green business is.  #Evident #WomenInGreenBusiness

As we work to tackle the climate crisis, women are increasingly emerging as leaders in the green sector, driving innovation and spearheading change towards a more sustainable future.    At Evident, we are proud to certify the #CleanEconomy and celebrate the remarkable women who are at the forefront of this movement.   Read more about the essential role of women in the green economy in our latest blog, link in the comments.   #WomeninGreenBusiness #Evident #GenderEquity

At Evident, we are passionate about the future of our planet. Over 20 years ago, our CEO Ed Everson played a pivotal role in creating the initial markets for Renewable Energy Certificates. We have since expanded our services to include natural gas, carbon removal, and aviation fuels to broaden our impact and support for a sustainable future. In an era where #NetZero commitments are increasingly prevalent among governments and organisations, it is crucial that these claims are verifiable. We work with a wide array of global organisations—including governments, NGOs, SMEs, and MNCs—to help facilitate their transition to a #CleanEconomy.

For almost 30 years, World Population Day has focused global attention on the critical importance of population issues. This year’s theme— understanding impact and taking action —aligns with our mission. Evident was founded to utilise innovation to make a positive impact. Today, we serve over 95% of the voluntary market for Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) outside Europe and North America, supporting governments, producers, and users in the transition to a Clean Economy. As the global population grows, urbanisation increases, leading to a higher demand for energy. At Evident, we combine the latest technology with human verification, to ensure all sustainable energy sources are robustly verified. This enables businesses to certify their commitment to NetZero through the clean energy they produce, trade, or consume.

Last week, Evident took full advantage of this year’s London Climate Action Week, an inspiring gathering of 45,000 people at 300 events over just seven days. Evident's Head of Policy, Luke Greicius shares his reflections on #LCAW 2024, and what it means for the transition to a #CleanEconomy: 1. De-risking the transition in the global south: Despite great progress in some areas of the #GreenTransition, developing economies face stark challenges in meeting their decarbonisation targets. The cost of capital can be three to four times higher than in developed economies; servicing sovereign debt is eating up to 23% of export revenue in some countries, and multinational development bank reform is too slow and not bold enough. Private sector instruments, such as Evident’s certificate registries, are critical to channelling resources from North to South, but governments need to work alongside the insurance sector to de-risk the transition. 2. Creating a common language: Enthusiasm and optimism were not in short supply, but the sprawling ecosystem of climate standards, initiatives, markets, and frameworks has fragmented the climate space and slowed progress. A shared language, greater interoperability, and trusted data must underpin key transition markets like renewable power, carbon removals, and sustainable fuels to mobilise the trillions in finance required to meet NetZero by 2050. 3. Global ambition, local implementation: German Climate Envoy Jennifer Morgan captured the heart of the current climate change challenge: it is at once a ‘deeply global, and deeply local problem’. High-level commitments are moving in the right direction, but implementation falls to actors on the ground in vastly diverse environments. We need concrete and achievable plans of action and customised tools built for purpose at a local level. Much work remains, but the path to a Clean Economy is getting clearer, and Evident is committed to being part of this important journey. #Evident #DevelopingEconomies #ClimateFinance
