"Time is of the essence. We see an unprecedented rise of new jobs in the energy sector because of the global climate agenda. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to make more women an integral part of the new energy system. This window of opportunity is at its peak now and that requires action today rather than tomorrow."

"Empowering women is a major cross-cutting endeavour, it cannot be achieved by the energy sector alone or by a single ministry or by even a country. Governments, development partners, civil society, as well as private companies and educational companies need to deliver results. Result that women will actually feel such as with high-quality jobs and with equal or better pay."

- Lyaziza Sabyrova, Director Regional Cooperation, CWRD, Asian Development Bank

- Nino Enukidze, Deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, Georgia

- Christine Lins., Co-founder and Executive Director, GWNET

- Yanan LV, Member of GWNET, GIZ

"We need to ask ourselves, why we think we are okay with this (bias towards women in energy), why we have normalized this. That really gets us passionate at Women in Energy Pakistan, about changing this mindset, making it not okay to be okay with this."
- Nameerah Hameed, Founder, Women in Energy Pakistan Network

"In every walk of life, it’s very important that men and women are both on the table, are both making decisions, because how can you make a decision with just 50% of the population in mind when it’s impacting all of us."
- Seher Abbas, Member of Women in Energy Pakistan, IFC

"Women contributing as entrepreneurs globally, within the energy space, which means women are identifying problems and stepping in the energy space to provide solutions themselves."

Here are important discussion points from our fourth panel: Women in Clean Energy Systems. Making the just transition.

"We have an opportunity now to include everyone in the emerging energy economy."
- Zonibel Woods, Senior Social Developnment Specialist, Asian Development Bank

"CAREC has a good education system, there are proportionally many more women being educated in STEM subjects than in other parts of the world. This is an opportunity for the energy sector."
- Michaela Bergman, Principal Social Specialist, Department of Strategy, Policy and Budget, AIIB

"At this stage, there’s a great opportunity for women because many researchers are women, who do great research, but when it comes to business models, this is where the major barriers are, if there could be more programs providing mentorship, that could be great for the region."
- Saida Yusupova, Founder Green Business Innovation, Uzbekistan

"The prevailing hiring practices have a major role in women participating in the energy sector. In a few days we have the International Women’s Day and the topic of this year is the “Bias of Women” and again, this bias of prevailing hiring practices is not helping women to access the workforce."
- Celia García-Baños, Programme Officer, Policy, Gender and Socioeconomics, IRENA

"It’s important to increase awareness and attract young ladies to participate in clean energy and general energy sector. It’s also relatable to other sectors too."
- Aliya Kydrybekova, Founder Waternovation, Kazakhstan

Here are important discussion points from our third panel: Advancing Women's leadership. Time for Change.

"There’s a uniqueness and value-addition, and important measurements regarding business success by including women."
- Kelly Hewitt, Principal Energy Specialist, Development Bank

"It is crucial that governments, companies and communities recognize the economical, environmental and social benefits that gender equality brings and try to remove the gradual removal of socio-cultural barriers that hinder female participation in the energy sector."
- Maia Melikidze, Commissioner, Georgian National Energy and Water Supply Regulatory Commission

"The first system that has to be changed is huge shift in the mentality and it should be done by the complex measures by the government program which are there, but the huge media campaign and educating boys and girls on equality."
- Tatyana Bystrushkina, Executive Director, American Chamber of Commerce, Uzbekistan

"The strongest part of the female (participation) to seeing the energy sector strategy differently from planning, innovation side is missing totally right now. We have been facing this stagnation for more than 20 years with no development in the sector."
- Malika Saidkhodjaeva, Founder, www.energy.uz, Uzbekistan

"Women’s participation can increase the project policy effectiveness and efficiency of energy sector interventions on the achievement of SDG 7, which the world is aspiring towards. The bottomline is (women participation) is a smart thing to do and it’s not just a good thing to do."
- Sudeshna Ghosh Banerjee, Energy Practice Manager, ECA Region, World Bank

"Here in Kyrgyzstan, we see a number of women being really active in the energy sector as entrepreneurs, they have been quite proactive and resourceful in driving policy reforms and overcoming barriers and when they have learned lessons and experiences, they offer their expertise to the government to develop the partners and financial institutions."
- Louise Chamberlain, UNDP Resident Representative, Kyrgyz Republic

Here are important discussion points from our second panel: Preparing for the future. Building the talent pipeline for the energy sector with Francesco Tornieri, Principal Social Development Specialist, Asian Development Bank as the host.

"Women can take any position in the energy sector, they have good knowledge, educational background, leadership skills and aspirations to higher positions. To enable this, we also need to strengthen the political will of the leadership in the sector through implementation of the gender policy and building gender sensitive legislation in the country."
- Rafika Musaeva, Head of the Association of Energy Professionals of Tajikistan

"Approx. 60% of the personnel in the conventional energy sector (coal, oil, gas), only 1% of staff are decision makers, not all women have equality in terms of career path and professional development in this sector globally."
- Bayan Abylkairova, Deputy Chief of Part, USAID Power Central Asia Activity

"It was a case in the past that traditionally energy sector was more masculine because it involved physical labour, but today, the situation is changing radically and as a result of digital transformation, energy sector is seeing more and more automated management systems implemented, the level of physical labour is reducing and the gender gap is becoming less prominent."
-Saule Sagintaeva, Vice-Chancellor of the Almaty University of Energy and Communications

"We can encourage women, change the very framing, messaging, textbooks from the pasts showing men working in the energy industry, that creates an image of energy industry being associated with men."
- Akhmed Gumbatov, Head of the Energy and Sustainable Development Program, Institute for Development and Diplomacy, ADA University
