Advancing a Just Energy Transition in Central Asia: Women’s Key Role in the Energy Sector

The OSCE study “Advancing a Just Energy Transition in Central Asia – Women’s key role in the energy sector” assesses – through a gender lens – the potential socio-economic benefits of the energy transition in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. It analyses the requirements for an appropriately skilled labour force and presents new projections of the job creation potential of renewable energy in each Central Asian country. The study closes with recommendations intended to help Central Asian governments, companies, academic institutions, civil society, and other relevant stakeholders ensure that the transition to renewable energy harnesses the full potential of women’s participation and leadership and leaves no one behind. The study was developed in partnership with the Global Women’s Network for the Energy Transition (GWNET), and with contributions from experts at the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).
