Yesterday I had the honour of attending an event : Women in Hydrogen, and I'm still buzzing with excitement and inspiration! It was a privilege to be surrounded by such accomplished and trailblazing women who are paving the way for a sustainable future with Green Hydrogen. The energy was electric (pun intended!) as we shared stories, experiences, and insights on the latest advancements and innovations in the field. I was struck by the collective passion and dedication to making a positive impact on our planet. It's not often that I'm in a room filled with so many women who are leaders, pioneers, and change-makers in their own right. And yet, despite the challenges they've faced, they exuded confidence, resilience, and a sense of community. I left feeling uplifted and motivated to continue contributing to this critical work. The next generation of leaders is counting on us to drive progress and create a better world for all. Kudos to the organizers Women In Green Hydrogen South Africa, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH for bringing together such an impressive lineup of speakers and attendees. Can't wait to stay connected and continue learning from this amazing group of women in hydrogen! #WomenInHydrogen #GreenHydrogen #Sustainability #Leadership Susan N.

Carla Reihle, Chairwoman of the WiGH Board emphasized that “#Diversity fuels #innovation: that's why WiGH is committed to amplifying the voices of women and ensuring they have a prominent role in shaping the discourse around green hydrogen". Together with Hydrogen Europe in this partnership, we are working to make this a reality. We as WiGH are happy to accelerate our efforts with such a strong partner.

Last week, Katarina Muse, representing #WiGH and Hydrogen Europe, took part in the expert discussion on "Leveraging women’s skills in the energy sector," organized by FES Just Climate. She delved into the pressing issue of increasing female representation in the renewable energy sector, together with experts from the EU Commission and trade unions. Women are underrepresented in many technical and manual professions, as well as in project management and executive roles within the energy sector. This underrepresentation makes these fields virtually invisible to young female talent, depriving the sector of crucial skills needed for the energy transition. There are numerous European initiatives that foster stakeholder networks, share good practices, increase data transparency, and provide funding. These efforts enhance #visibility and mainstream effective practices. Additionally, social partner agreements between employers and trade unions, along with companies' growing commitment to #gender matters, are positive steps forward. However, these initiatives have had limited impact on labour market figures. How can WiGH help to attract more female employees to the energy and climate technology? Thanks to its mission of promoting more women on panels and its mentorship programm, it highlights brilliant women working in the sector. This not only provides inspiration for young women making career decisions but also ensures their voices are heard in shaping policies and initiatives, making the sector an appealing option for women. ➡ Check out our #Mentoring program: https://lnkd.in/e8p7Mqzu ➡ Take a look at our women expert database: https://lnkd.in/e8p7Mqzu Carmen Oprea Corinna Zierold
