Installing a solar panel or creating an energy community has nothing to do with gender!
The report ‘Good practices on gender main streaming in the European Green Deal: Towards a more gender-equal and greener Europe’ is now available. Our W4RES project is highlighted as one of 12 exemplary practices for integrating gender into the European Green Deal policy areas, working to advance both gender equality and environmental sustainability. Diversity and inclusion foster talent, creativity, and improve social and financial positions. That’s why the W4RES project is so important – and why this discussion matters to all of us.
