GOAL

This initiative seeks to:

  • Share lessons on needed and successful policies that support just clean energy transitions;
  • Highlight different policy mixes to support workers and communities with models that meet the unique needs and circumstances of different member countries, industrial sectors and stakeholder communities;
  • Advocate for diversity and inclusiveness in HR policies, working conditions and corporate governance; address the needs of youth, gender equality, including pay equity, retention of diverse staff, the promotion of inclusive culture, among other measures that would serve to marshal and develop all available talent to strengthen the global energy sector.

OVERVIEW

People Initiative

This Initiative seeks to convene a dialogue that expands the conversation taking place within existing CEM initiatives and to develop solutions relevant to those initiatives’ goals. It will do so by bringing together the right people and partners to share best practices between CEM members, companies and partner organizations. This includes providing a platform for underrepresented and marginalized voices – to bring forward novel approaches and diverse perspectives needed to move the needle on achieving a just and equitable transition for a clean energy future. This year, the Empowering People Initiative is hosting a series of Solutions Summits to create collaborations related to clean energy

workforce preparation via its Integrated Policymaking and Empowering Communications for the Clean Energy Economy and Workforce (IPEC) Project. The Empowering People Initiative works with existing CEM initiatives in a collaborative spirit – acting as a horizontal initiative. It builds on and complements existing CEM work streams that already promote equity and inclusivity, such as the Equality in Energy Transitions Initiative and the Equal by 30 Campaign, while leveraging other technology-oriented CEM initiatives that could benefit from exploring skills, workforce, and inclusivity issues.
