This 25 March, join activists, women human rights defenders, community leaders and experts to the online event on Promoting gender justice in the transition to renewable energy, a side event at the NGO 65th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW65) Forum and co-hosted by GI-ESCR, AIDA and Friedrich Ebert Stiftung.

This event will create a space to discuss and share insights on women’s full and effective participation and decision making in the transition to renewable energy as a means for achieving gender equality.

We will explore women’s participation in green-energy policy making and renewable energy projects, making references to key case studies in order to highlight:

• The risks associated with energy transition models that do not fully integrate women’s full and effective participation and decision making, and

• Key policy proposals and recommendations to ensure women’s participation in the transition to renewable energy.
