Women in Sustainability, Environment and Renewable Energy (WiSER) -Masdar’s global initiative that empowers women as catalysts of sustainable change and innovation- will be showcasing the remarkable journeys of female entrepreneurs and mentors at the World Future Energy Summit (WFES), as reported by the “Zawya” website.
In an afternoon of dedicated programming at the Masdar Pavilion on April 18, three panels will explore innovative solutions and opportunities in climate finance for female entrepreneurs, highlight the transformative role of female mentorship in fostering leadership and promoting diversity and inclusion, and examine the nexus between SDG5 and environmental action to ensure women’s perspectives from the Global South are integrated into policy and practice.
Uniting female entrepreneurs, thought leaders, business executives and academics, WiSER’s program at WFES is a platform that aims to engage, challenge and inform audiences. It is a testament to WiSER’s commitment to addressing the under-representation of women in the renewable energy sector and highlighting the barriers they face in accessing climate finance and education.
WiSER, a Masdar initiative, was established due to the UAE leadership’s longstanding commitment to the role of women, a commitment traced back to the vision of the late founding father, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. Aligned with the UAE’s net-zero goals, WiSER is rooted in a recognition that more needs to be done to support women in the global mission to tackle climate change.
Hosted by Masdar, WFES is the leading business event for future energy, clean technology, and sustainability. It will occur from April 16 to 18 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC).
