Shaping Tomorrow: Women’s Leadership and Social Inclusion for a Just Transition (CEM15 Side Event)

The “Shaping Tomorrow: Women’s Leadership and Social Inclusion for a Just Transition” event
serves as a platform to showcase how the integration of gender equality and social inclusion
into energy transitions can drive meaningful global change. This session will explore the
benefits of incorporating diverse perspectives from underrepresented groups and how this
accelerates the achievement of sustainable, resilient, and just transitions. The event will
highlight successful examples from around the world, demonstrating how inclusive approaches can reduce inequalities in employment standards, energy poverty, access to healthcare, and overall well-being, while contributing to economic growth.
In addition to these discussions, the event will feature an awards ceremony recognizing and
celebrating the achievements of women and organizations that have advanced gender
equality, diversity, and inclusion (GEDI) in their work. These awards will highlight the
significant contributions of leaders who are driving forward inclusive energy transitions.
