Only 32 per cent of the global renewables workforce is composed of women, and only 7 per cent of the sector’s leadership positions are held by women. Facing the tremendous challenge ahead to achieve a 1.5-degree pathway, we need to maximise our available human resources and capacity for innovation. This will require greater international collaboration and support across our sector for a gender-equitable energy transition.

Since launching in 2019, Women in Wind Global Leadership Program has reached several milestones: establishing a mentorship program; embarking on a study tour in Berlin and London; submitting a statement on gender mainstreaming to the UNFCCC; and conducting an active online storytelling campaign. We’ve also partnered with IRENA for a first-of-its-kind Global Gender Survey of the Wind Energy Industry.

As companies play a leading role in nurturing the next generation of business leaders who will act for sustainable development and growth, we invite you to learn more about joining us in this important initiative in 2020 to further gender diversity in the wind industry!
