My latest column in Firstpost: Embracing decentralised systems, empowering grassroots communities and women, and reimagining finance are pivotal steps towards charting a path to a more sustainable and equitable energy future for all

To accelerate the #energytransition, governing bodies and energy companies are setting ambitious targets. Companies will require innovative solutions to meet these transition goals, and #diversityequityinclusion (DE&I) has been consistently tied to innovation. Diverse teams provide a richer pool of perspectives, experiences, and talent. Inclusive environments create the necessary psychological safety for individuals to freely share ideas and unique approaches to problem-solving. Together, diversity and inclusion promote collaboration and creativity, which can lead to innovation.

Last month, WSPA hosted the Women's Energy Network California event to discuss the unspoken aspects of California's race to net zero. The conversation was led by WSPA’s own Senior Vice President of Government Affairs and Chief Operating Officer, Jodie Muller, CAE and Senior Principal Engineer of Geosyntec Consultants, Lynn McGuire who discussed the current energy issues at hand, and our path forward. Some key insights of the event include: - When it comes to our state's ambitious drive towards net zero, it's crucial to carve out space for transitional thinking. While we excel at setting goals, we're falling short in devising realistic and equitable plans to actualize them. - Achieving our monumental climate goals demands the engagement of the sharpest minds, yet the current exclusion of the oil and gas industry from these crucial conversations is a glaring oversight. This industry boasts some of the most brilliant problem-solvers, with a solid track record of executing large-scale projects and making substantial investments in alternative, renewable, and increasingly cleaner energy sources. - Realizing any monumental goal necessitates a diversity of perspectives. We not only require greater gender parity but also a more inclusive representation of individuals from diverse ethnicities, backgrounds, and experiences. #NetZero #DiversityInEnergy #WomenInEnergy #WomenOfWSPA #WomensHistoryMonth

As world leaders convene in New York for United Nations General Assembly #UNGA78 and for #ClimateWeekNYC, we are present to discuss the critical role of the #ClimateFinance in advancing solutions for a sustainable 🌍. We'll be meeting with our partners to focusing on industry decarbonization, renewable energy and integration, and coal transition to name a few.

After a long hiatus, I am happy to share that I wrote a piece on an important and topical issue - the necessity of fostering gender inclusivity in the growing renewable energy sector. Women are at the heart of climate solutions but they are most often neglected in decision-making structures, particularly those related to energy-consumption. Their role as primary energy users, involvement in generating diverse livelihood opportunities and positionality in terms of being at the nerve center of the community, mean that women play a vital role in the adoption and penetration of clean energy. Here, I take the example of Distributed Renewable Energy (DRE) and the potential it has to make our future truly green and inclusive. Do give this article a read to know more about DRE and its role in centering women in climate solutions! #womenleddevelopment #climate #climateaction #energyefficiency #renewableenergy #genderequality

Working with communities at the heart of low-carbon transition projects is essential for businesses that want to de-risk investments, establish a collaborative environment, and generate positive environmental, social, and commercial outcomes over the long term.   Join us tomorrow for session three of our ‘Managing Climate-Related Business Risks Through a Just Transition’ webinar series as we explore the role of ‘Inclusive Development Models’ for ensuring power and wealth are more equally distributed in a net zero transition.   We’ll hear from representatives at ClientEarth, Sacred Earth Solar, and SSE plc who will discuss real-world examples of community benefit sharing and co-ownership models.   Register to attend here: https://bit.ly/3He8TAZ   #JustTransitions #ClimateAction #NetZero

⚡️ Launching #Her4Energy: Empowering Women in the Energy Sector Today, at the 10th #ARLEM meeting in Carcassonne, we discussed the importance of #energy justice.  The successes of energy communities show us how reducing fossil fuel reliance can be achieved through solidarity and sharing. These #communities use #technology to help people see and control their energy use, making everyone more aware and #involved. In this context, I'm happy to share our new #Her4Energy tool. It shows how energy issues affect women and provides ways to include them in the energy sector. I invite all partners—cities, ministries, and communities—to explore and use #Her4Energy. Together, we can make energy more inclusive and sustainable. 📝https://lnkd.in/errnV5VS European Investment Bank (EIB) UNOPS Cities Alliance C40 Cities Clima-Med - Acting for Climate in South Mediterranean European Commission European Committee of the Regions Ministero degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale Ministère des Affaires étrangères français

"The key to #cleanenergy transition at the grassroots level lies in empowering women. ...Grassroots communities and women have an important role to play in the global clean energy transition, not only because they represent a significant proportion of the global population, but also because they possess invaluable local knowledge and perspectives that are essential for implementing effective and sustainable clean energy solutions at the grassroots level. Supporting #womenentrepreneurs can yield significant dividends in establishing grassroots economies centred on clean energy. However, despite the substantial evidence indicating their success, timely loan repayment, and sustainable growth once empowered, access to finance remains a major challenge. Therefore, there is a critical need to address this barrier in order to fully empower women in the clean energy sector. Embracing decentralised systems, empowering grassroots communities and women, and reimagining finance are pivotal steps toward charting a path to a more sustainable and equitable energy future for all." #energyaccess #finance #grassroots #communities #sustainability https://lnkd.in/gpFTk6bd

"Renewable energy is seen as key to achieving multiple #SDGs." LONGi‘s founder and president Li Zhenguo shared his insights with other participants of the forum. The #UNGlobalCompact #ForwardFaster initiative calls on business leaders everywhere to take measurable, credible and ambitious action in areas that have the power to accelerate progress across all 17 #SDGs where the private sector can collectively make the biggest, fastest impact by 2030. https://lnkd.in/gNy2R-Zn
