We present a multi-stakeholder Gender and Energy Compact engaging government, private sector, finance, academia, civil society, youth, intergovernmental organizations and media. Together and individually, we support a just and inclusive energy transition that is gender responsive, youth-inclusive, locally led and globally connected.
