Energy is a key driver of the transition towards a more sustainable and equitable world. Beyond its environmental benefits, it contributes to poverty reduction, improved health, gender equality, education, food security, and water access. This session will explore how energy systems can advance social equity while supporting a diverse and fair energy transition worldwide. A special focus will be given to gender balance and social inclusion, featuring a panel of women sharing their careers and experiences in promoting diversity within the energy sector. We will also address gender-sensitive approaches to project development, opportunities for women, inclusive planning, public perception, community engagement, and policies that promote equitable access to energy benefits, ensuring that both women and men participate in and benefit from the transition.
