Nordic Energy Research is organizing several seminars and activities between 2–6 December at COP28. On 5 December at 12.00–12.45, we are hosting the event Empowering the Future in cooperation with Green by Iceland.

The forum aims to explore the critical link between gender equality and diversity and the success of climate goals, shedding light on the untapped benefits and fresh perspectives that a more diverse approach can bring to the forefront. It also intends to delve into the opportunities to forge a pathway towards a truly equitable and empowered energy sector, drawing insights from best practices and experiences.
