SUMMARY:Shine Power to the People Webinar #2
DESCRIPTION:Women-led\, community-driven renewable energy access improves livelihoods\, wellbeing\, and climate resilience while bolstering women’s leadership. \n \nThe Shine Collab invites you to the second installment of their Power to the People Webinar Series: How Community-Led\, Decentralized Renewable Energy Enables Gender and Climate Justice Solutions on Wednesday\, 30 October at 3-5pm CAT | 1-3pm GMT | 9-11am EDT. \nCentering power and rights as a vital transition consideration\, this framework asks ‘whose interests matter in a transition?” and “what are we transitioning from and to?” Equally important\, what is the role of communities and how does energy fit into strategies to build women’s power and community wellbeing?
