Women Leading Clean Energy – October 30th
Incorporating a gender perspective into sustainable energy strategies is crucial for addressing the challenges of the clean energy transition. In Latin America and the Caribbean, the gender gap in STEM fields remains significant, with women representing only 30% of researchers and innovators.
This virtual dialogue will bring together leaders in sustainable energy to explore women’s leadership in clean energy and critical minerals, highlight initiatives that empower women in the sector, and share insights on expanding the network of women in energy across the Americas.
Join us for a vital dialogue on the pivotal role of women in driving innovation in the clean energy transition across Latin America and the Caribbean.
