Fresh Off The Press! 🌟 Empowering Women in Energy: Some key outcomes from Women In Energy🌟 At the recent Women In Energy session held at Enlit Africa 2024, DMRE Deputy Director-General Hilda Mhlongo emphasized the critical need for gender diversity in the energy sector. The five-year Energy Sector Women Empowerment Strategy, initiated in 2021, has been making strides in addressing barriers and promoting women’s participation in this vital industry. Programs supporting STEM education for girls, vocational training for women, and initiatives to help women establish energy businesses are showing tangible results. As we approach the final year of this strategy, it's time to review and enhance our efforts to ensure lasting impact. Promoting women in energy is not just about equity; it fosters innovation, diverse perspectives, and inclusive growth. Investing in women's empowerment in the energy sector is not only the right thing to do—it’s the smart thing to do. Let’s continue to champion gender equality and challenge traditional roles, empowering women to drive change and shape the future of energy. 💪🔋🌍 Read the full article from Engineering News here: https://lnkd.in/e6RRynuA #WomenInEnergy #Empowerment #InclusiveGrowth #GenderEquality #STEM #Sustainability #Innovation #Leadership #DMRE #EnlitAfrica2024

🌟 This International Women's Day 2024, let's reaffirm our commitment to investing in #women to accelerate progress towards gender #equality! 🌍💼💪   Among the numerous challenges hindering #gender equality by 2030, access to #finance stands out prominently. Did you know that the annual global deficit to address gender inequalities amounts to a staggering USD 360 billion?   At Econoler, we're proud to contribute to addressing this gap. We support both international and national stakeholders in enhancing women's access to climate finance, to engage them in just transition.   🌱 In collaboration with IFC - International Finance Corporation, we conducted comprehensive studies in #Mexico and #IvoryCoast to assess investment costs for women entrepreneurs to make their businesses more energy-efficient and sustainable.   📊 For these studies, we also mapped existing #green financing products for energy transition and analyzed the #barriers women encounter in accessing such financial resources.   💼 Through the SUNREF project, we've been actively supporting #Ghana's banking sector and the Energy Commission to foster gender equality within these institutions. We delved into institutional assessments, including financial products, #investment portfolios, and #legal barriers hindering women entrepreneurs' access to #climate finance.   As we celebrate International Women's Day, let's continue championing initiatives that #empower women #economically and #environmentally. Together, we can pave the way for a more #inclusive and #sustainable future! 💫 #IWD2024 #JustTransition #GenderEquality #ClimateFinance

We're celebrating the resilience, brilliance, and impact of women in the renewable energy industry, including those within Simply Blue Group this International Women's Day. Their dedication serves as an aspiration to future generations, fostering a more inclusive and sustainable future.💪🌍 Kerry Hayes, the Head of our EDI Working Group said: “We must never lose sight that International Women's Day is primarily a call to action, aligned with the UN's Sustainable Development goals, calling for the world to tackle global gender inequality, which is essential as we strive to live on a more just planet. While progress is being made, slowly, we should also take time to recognise and celebrate women’s achievements, resilience and brilliance, which are particularly visible in the sustainable energy sector, and here at Simply Blue Group, where women are playing leading roles in transforming our energy systems for the better.”   #InvestInWomen #IWD2024 #InspireInclusion #WomenInRenewables #SustainableLeadership

There is no just transition without centering and valuing gender and social equality. What is the "smart" in gender-smart climate finance? Building the future we choose, requires embracing possibility and systemic approaches. Integrating a gender perspective into finance and using a broader inclusion and social lens can enhance and accelerate the sustainable finance flows. Moreover, it can not only help us imagine, but also realize the end goal of a more just, sustainable, and equal world that works for all.

#InternationalWomensDay2024: The energy sector has been reflecting a historical male dominance. Despite comprising 39% of the global labor force, women hold only 16% of energy sector jobs, with even fewer in management roles. Rooted in wider gender gaps in politics, economics, and education, gender equality is garnering international attention, and initiatives are emerging, but the industry's transition remains gradual, with much ground to cover. This International Women’s Day, join us as we delve into the pressing gender gap issues within the energy industry, featuring insights from leading women in the field. We talk to Dr Carole Nakhle, CEO, Crystol Energy on why increasing female representation across the industry is an urgent necessity and what are the actionable strategies that can be promoted in order to bridge these gaps in our latest Energy Connects Podcast. Vandana Hari, Founder of Vanda Insights sheds light on the disparities in the energy sector workforce while Christina Horspool, Vice President Sustainability & Climate Action, X-Academy, highlights the broader challenges and risks at stake. Maram Al Ghailani, Direct Sales Representative at ChampionX, also reflects on the evolving landscape of gender diversity in the energy sector. #EnergyConnects #energynews #energyindustry #news #oott #womensday2024 #diversityandinclusion
