W4RES New Webinar Series

We are back! W4RES continues its webinar series on gender mainstreaming, women empowerment and leadership in the renewable heating and cooling (RHC) sector.  

In this webinar series, WECF and ECWT will show you how to incorporate gender mainstreaming practices in your company/organisation. The webinars will be a step ahead as we will bring several experts who will shed light on concrete examples and methodologies on how to make the RHC sector more accessible and gender-responsive. Through the results of recent studies, technical expertise and gender mainstreaming, we aim to strengthen participants’ capacities to grab the urgently needed gender responsive adoption of RHC solutions. Together we ensure that everyone is included in a just transition to a renewable heating and cooling sector! Will you join us in this goal?
