At a recent Women in Green Hydrogen (Wigh) Namibia event, the call for greater inclusion of women and enhanced skills development in Namibia's emerging green hydrogen sector was emphasized. Prime Minister Ngurare highlighted the importance of empowering women through training, education, and access to economic opportunities in the green industrialization efforts. It was stressed that women's empowerment should extend beyond the green hydrogen sector to new industries like oil and gas, agriculture, and tourism. The event also underlined the need for updated gender participation data to ensure gender equity in the rapidly growing green energy space. Financing opportunities were discussed, with green hydrogen projects seen as more likely to attract sustainable investment due to environmental, social, and governance factors. The Wigh Namibia platform aims to ensure that women are not left behind in Namibia's transition to a low-carbon economy, highlighting the importance of gender equity and skills development in the sustainable energy sector.
