This side event will showcase how women are driving innovation for a just, equitable, and inclusive clean energy future and how collaborative global initiatives like the Equality Initiative and the Gender and Energy Compact are taking bold actions to close the gender energy gap. While highlighting the existing and upcoming cross-sectoral barriers and challenges, this side event will bring the expertise and experiences of inspiring speakers from the public and private sector, educational, civil society, and youth associations into a dialogue that recognizes the urgency of implementing intersectional and inclusive measures and approaches across different sectors. Moreover, speakers will share recommendations (including concrete actions, effective strategies, best practices, and tools) to catalyze action to enhance gender equality and women’s empowerment.
