According to the Global Renewables Outlook: Energy transformation 2050 published by Irena in 2020, Jobs in renewables would reach 42 million globally by 2050, four times their current level, through the increased focus of investments on renewables. Energy efficiency measures would create 21 million and system flexibility 15 million additional jobs.
In this webinar we would like to shed a light on the possibilities that these developments offer to women in the industry. We will discuss the chances but also the challenges with Tina Barroso, a founding member of Hypatia, a network for women in the energy sector, and Kathlen Schneider a co-founder of the Brazilian Women’s Network in Solar Energy (MESol Network). They will be available for your questions during a Q&A, too.
Both the recording and the presentation are made available to all registrants after the webinar.
