Without gender equality today, a sustainable future, and an equal future, remains beyond our reach. International Women’s Day marks an important and exciting opportunity to celebrate women's achievements and increase visibility, while amplifying a call to action to everyone to help build an inclusive world - a world where women’s perspectives and talent are sought, valued, and embraced. Diversity is the true energy, that will enable us to lead the transition to a cleaner and more sustainable world.

Diversity, inclusion and equity: all 3 fuel our progress towards climate neutrality. We need to unlock their full potential for this energy transition to be a success. It’s good to see different generations, genders and regions joining gas infrastructure in its mission. Together, we will help the EU deliver its objectives in the short, mid and long term. Combining youth’s boldness with senior experience will also boost the development of efficient solutions for a secure and decarbonised future.

Inequality in women is still persistence for power, status, and compensation despite current statistics showed majority of women college education even higher than the past few years. As a woman CEO for engineering company, there are still rooms to do thing more equitably starting with my team where we have equal number of women engineers in my company. I hope for the same practice in other industries too!

Equality is the goal, but equity is the means to get there.
Equality means providing the same to all, whereas equity means recognising that we don’t all start the same and must acknowledge and make adjustments to imbalances.
To improve our chances in tackling the world’s multiple crises such as climate change or ecosystem loss, let’s #EmbraceEquity, meaning embracing Diversity and Inclusion.

Imagine a world where we are all equal. Where we no longer have to challenge gender stereotypes, call out discrimination, draw attention to bias, or seek out inclusion. We all belong… we all #embrace equity.
Collective activism from all of us is what drives change. Forging gender equity isn't limited to women solely fighting the good fight. Allies are incredibly important for the social, economic, cultural, and political advancement of women. Let’s be the change that sets us on a course of a new direction #EmbraceEquity not only for today but for our future generations.

Women value the role that clean energy has in addressing climate change.
The transformation of the sector towards sustainable clean energy sources requires innovative solutions and ensuring that the right talent is being developed for these industries. It provides an excellent opportunity for greater gender diversity and to the next generation of women leaders.
Creating a supportive policy environment for renewable energy, to attract investment and implement democratic solutions to access energy for all, also implies an equitable environment for women to advance in their careers and promote most of the latent potential in the energy sector.

We should recognize the fact that people are born into different places and status, and thus are not given the same equal opportunities. Working towards the goal that everyone should be treated with fairness and justice to get what they deserve is a great good deed

International Women's Day is a reminder that women contribute to society equally as men do. It celebrates women's empowerment, development, and inspires others to pass it on to the next generation. Leadership is not exclusive to any gender, and women in senior roles perform just as well. A nurturing working environment with respect and teamwork is crucial for success. Young women should be assertive in the workplace and view it as a venue to learn and support others. Women are now equally respected and listened to, and it's time to show the world what an empowered woman can do.
