Women In Sustainable �鶹��Ƶ

To begin tackling the gender equality gap in hydropower, �鶹��Ƶ and the Global Women’s Network for the Energy Transition (GWNET) have developed the Women in Sustainable �鶹��Ƶ (WISH) network to bring together women from across the hydropower community to deliver the clean energy transition. As women represent only approximately 25% of the workforce, it is fundamental to promote, support and empower them in hydropower and encourage more women to join and stay in the industry. Using this space, we aim to foster a global network of women to connect and eventually share best practices.

Research

�鶹��Ƶ and GWNET provided research and analysis for the World Bank’s Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP)’s report focused on assessing women’s participation in the hydropower sector. Titled, ‘Power with full force: Getting to gender equality in the hydropower sector’, the report draws out five key recommendations for policymakers and those in the sector:

‍

Start with education and implement actions to remove the constraints on the numbers of women who pursue STEM degrees.
Identify gender gaps in the workplace and enact policies to close them.
Raise awareness to promote hydropower as an appealing career for women.
Provide mentoring, role models, and networking opportunities for women.
Include more men in the gender inequality discussion and encourage them to be proactive to reduce the gaps.

The �鶹��Ƶ (�鶹��Ƶ) and the Global Women’s Network for the Energy Transition (GWNET) provided research and analysis for the Power with full force – Getting to gender equality in the hydropower sector report developed by the World Bank Group’s Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP).

The report emphasises that the hydropower sector must be able to access the broadest pool of talent to fulfil its crucial role in the transition to low-carbon energy systems. That necessitates expanding education and training programs aimed at building an inclusive and balanced workforce to ensure that the creation of new, high-quality jobs benefits men and women equally.
