Webinar: Power to the People – A gender Just Energy Transition and why it matters

The Shine Collab invites you to the first webinar in a series about energy justice and power.
Climate change and related economic and political crises are wreaking havoc on people and the planet. Shifting away from a fossil-fuel dependent, extractive, and broken economic model could not be more urgent. Renewed attention and action toward a just energy transition is promising, but what does “just” mean in practice?

This first webinar will draw on policy advocates, academics, energy organizers, and feminist and climate activists to discuss the meaning, politics and strategies involved in just energy transitions, exploring the promise of community-driven energy access for gender, climate and economic justice.
