Gender equality in the Nordic energy sector

How to achieve a socially sustainable transition towards a green energy system is increasingly emphasised, as new technologies and solutions for the energy of tomorrow constantly develop. The shift to renewables will lead to major changes in our energy systems and affect citizens in different ways. One element of social sustainability is gender equality, addressing the energy sector’s need to gather all talents to stimulate innovation and ensure inclusion. Regarded as one of the least gender diverse sectors, also in the Nordic countries, there is still more to be done to ensure a sustainable energy transition. The report Gender equality in the Nordic energy sector provides an overall picture of the status of gender equality in the Nordic energy sector. The purpose is to highlight this topic and stimulate further discussions for a positive impact on the sector.
