The Power of Inclusion: Designing equitable energy systems across social divisions
Inclusion is an important yet undervalued part of an equitable energy transition. It is vital in order to build truly sustainable and climate-compatible energy systems. In this session, we will look at inclusivity in energy transitions through the lens of different demographic groups including gender, disability, age, and class. Centering Global South perspectives, we will investigate how accounting for the needs of diverse groups in decision-making can have a positive effect on energy-enabled growth. This panel is organised as a side event to COP27 by the Climate Compatible Growth Programme (CCG) and members of the Oxford Energy and Power Group (EPG).
