Gender equality is a key determinant for advancing just energy transitions. Within these transformations, the greatest possible participation of all stakeholders is crucial for ownership and thus for national and international success. Women tend to be underrepresented in the energy sector, especially in decision-making or technical positions, while making half of the affected end users.

This is particularly severe because gender disparities are barriers for reducing heavy costs on society in terms of reduced economic growth and slower poverty reduction. There is huge unleveraged potential and insight calling for more equitable participation as stakeholders in renewable energy policy making and implementation. Gender equality is a prerequisite and key driver for sustainable development and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Women Energize Women #womenenergize is a communication initiative of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) and is implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and the German Renewable Energy Federation (BEE) within the scope of BMWi’s global project Bilateral Energy Partnerships andDialogues. The campaign aims to empower, motivate, inform, inspire and connect women working in the energy sector across the world by offering interactive events, inspiring role models, important information and general knowledge on the state of gender equality in the energy sector.
