The “APEC Workshop on Empowering Women in Just Energy Transitions” aims to improve capacity building for APEC member economies, especially developing ones through identifying challenges impeding women's participation in just energy transitions; and hence, sharing information, experiences in figuring out approaches to address challenges and support women to participate and benefit from just energy transitions. Through discussion, it is recommended that more efforts should be made to enhance awareness, foster inclusivity, leverage networks, integrate gender equality into energy policy, develop inclusive policy narratives, as well as promote data and evidence-based policy, responsive financing to advance gender equality, women’s participation in STEM, share best practices, facilitate exchange programs, and promote APEC cross fora collaboration, and so on.
