Female professionals have many opportunities to tap into the clean energy transition. What women in the energy sector need to do now is to support each other, cooperate, exchange experiences and continue developing competencies and skills, enabling the net zero target. It is women, with their expertise and active engagement in the clean energy transition, who can make a real difference and offer new solutions to reach climate neutrality.

Women, whether citizens, mothers or professionals, have a key role to play to make the green energy transition just and equitable, closing the gender and social gap, especially in developing countries where that gap is most challenging, and women can be a major driver of change.

I strongly believe in the potential of women in creating a more peaceful and effective environment, both in the workplace and in the political and civil society: I have taught my two male children to respect, trust and support women and I'll provide these teachings will never lack in their future education.

Societal changes such as the energy transition can only be mastered together. Change requires the effort of all and to think of all to make it sustainable. That is why I believe it is important to make women more visible – to create representation and opportunities on our way to a more diverse, green, and resilient energy industry.

Women bring unique perspectives to the energy sector and are a vital source of innovation and creativity. However, many of us tend to downplay their accomplishments and abilities. It’s time for a change in attitude. Let’s work together towards a future where women are encouraged to lead and thrive.

I am deeply convinced that the diversity of profiles and the increased participation of women in the energy sector can contribute to accelerate the transition of our energy systems towards decarbonisation and carbon neutrality.

We need to empower more women to drive the energy transition and create a positive change, whether it's in decision-making roles or as experts. Diverse teams perform better, and offer more innovative solutions.

At all levels of society and across all the facets of our lives, women play a vital role in shaping how energy is used. As we accelerate the green transition, we must also be at the forefront of defining the most effective policies and sustainable solutions.
