Bilbao, 2 April: The Global Wind Energy Council has partnered with the Global Women’s Network for the Energy Transition (GWNET) to launch the Women in Wind Global Leadership Program. The program is designed to accelerate the careers of women in the wind industry, support their pathway to leadership positions and foster a global network of mentorship, knowledge-sharing and empowerment. The renewables industry continues to be male dominated, with females making up only 22% of the workforce according to a recent IRENA report. In launching this program, GWEC and GWNET call on other stakeholders in the renewables industry to recognise the importance of gender diversity in the fight against climate change and the promotion of sustainable development. Joyce Lee, Policy and Operations Director at GWEC, said: “We are delighted to launch this initiative with GWNET. Gender diversity drives innovation, brings valuable perspectives to socio-economic development and provides a richer pool of talent for fast growing industries such as wind. I hope that this program will not only support women that are currently working in wind and drive their career ambitions, but also inspire many more to join them.” Christine Lins, Executive Director and Founder Member of GWNET, said: “The Women in Wind Global Leadership Program is open for women working in the wind industry in emerging wind markets and aims to empower them in order to advance their careers and increase women representation at managerial and decision-making levels. A more gender-balanced energy sector will foster a quicker and more inclusive energy transition towards renewable energy.” The Women in Wind program will create:
Diversity in background and geography are driving principles of the program. In its inaugural year, the program will welcome 8-10 participants across all disciplines of the sector, from or based in the following emerging markets for wind: Algeria, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Mexico, Morocco, Philippines, Russia, Senegal, South Africa, Thailand and Vietnam. In uplifting the next generation of stewards for a sustainable energy system, GWEC affirms its alignment with UN Sustainable Development Goal 5 (achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls) and UN Sustainable Development Goal 7 (ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all).
