There is increasing talk about “gender mainstreaming” in the energy sector. But what does this mean in practice? In order to get insights into hands-on experience of gender mainstreaming, this virtual event aims to focus on best practices from Chile.

The event "Best Practices in Gender Mainstreaming in the Energy Sector: 'Energía + Mujer' in Chile" will be held in form of an interview with Javiera Aldunate, Director for International Relations at the Chilean Ministry of Energy. We want to take a closer look with her at the programme’s background, design, its best-practices and also obstacles.

Gender equality is a key determinant for advancing just energy transitions. Within these transformations, the greatest possible participation of all stakeholders is crucial for ownership and thus for national and international success. Women tend to be underrepresented in the energy sector, especially in decision-making or technical positions, while making half of the affected end users. This is particularly severe because gender disparities are barriers for reducing heavy costs on society in terms of reduced economic growth and slower poverty reduction. There is huge unleveraged potential and insight calling for more equitable participation as stakeholders in renewable energy policy making and implementation. Gender equality is a prerequisite and key driver for sustainable development and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
