Fireside chat - In the Hot Seat: What Leadership Looks Like for Women in Energy and Climate.

This fireside chat will bring together leaders from government, private sector and civil society to discuss a chronic dilemma and fundamental question: Leadership in energy and climate has historically been male-dominated—why, and how can redefining leadership to embrace women’s perspectives transform the sector? Specifically, the following key themes will be discussed: 

• Breaking Barriers: Addressing gender bias, stereotypes, and structural obstacles in energy and climate sectors.
• Building Partnerships: Strengthening networks between civil society, government, and private sector for collective impact.
• Innovative Solutions: Showcasing successful models for women’s leadership, mentorship, and capacity building.
• Accountability & Data: The importance of gender-disaggregated data and robust monitoring for progress.
