WISE (Women in Solidarity for Energy) Pan-European Conference

Across Europe, single women -- students, young workers, single mothers, elderly women and migrant women -- are 3 to 4 times more likely than the general population to be facing situations of severe energy vulnerability.

The WISE Project aims to:

• Raise awareness of energy injustices experienced by single women

• Organise energy solidarity actions to build up energy knowledge and know-how of women

• Co-ordinate efforts to align policy and practice to promote energy solidarity

The Pan-European Conference will create opportunity

• Explain the WISE project and promote broader engagement

• Review the current situation in WISE Partner countries[1]

• Offer a series of workshops focusing on actions needed across diverse areas

• Examine a just, clean energy transition – including for single women – from the perspective of basic human rights law

WISE aims to bring together 150 people from diverse sectors: advocacy, policy and legislation, energy companies, NGOs/CSOs, government agencies, housing, renovation, energy efficiency, financing, municipalities, philantropies, social service providers, etc.
