Women in Wind Statement to UNFCCC Adaptation Committee on Gender Mainstreaming
22 July , 2019
In July 2019, GWEC and GWNET submitted a statement to the UNFCCC on behalf of the Women in Wind Global Leadership Program.
Diversity is not a compromise but rather ensuring that you hire the best people. Surround yourself with people that complement you, rather than look like you, that challenge you to break barriers in thought and innovation, rather than think like you.
Our industry needs to create the pathways that enable us to attract and develop the most qualified people to drive the innovation needed to deliver the energy transition.
Gender diversity is a critical component to any organisation to enable increased innovation and new perspectives.
