This webinar will explore the intersection of social, policy, and gender dimensions in the development of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP).

The first session will introduce the vital role of women in CSP, and highlight the policies needed to support CSP growth, especially relevant in view of “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) program cancellation in the USA.

The second talk will dive into IRENA’s recent report on the job requirements for CSP development, with a focus on leveraging local capacity for a sustainable CSP workforce.

Finally, we will address the broader social and policy challenges shaping the European Green Deal, examining issues like cross-sector collaboration, social acceptance, and gender equality, and how these factors influence the future of renewable energy. 

Key takeaways:

• Policy frameworks for CSP expansion: Why “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) and other gender equality programs matter for technological innovation, and what is needed beyond simple cost reduction for CSP growth.
• Local content and job creation: Discover strategies for integrating local content in CSP projects and leveraging local capacities to build a sustainable workforce, as highlighted in IRENA’s recent report.
• Social and policy dynamics in the EU Green Deal: Explore the broader social and policy challenges influencing the European Green Deal, including cross-sector collaboration, social acceptance, and gender equality, and their impact on the future of renewable energy.
