Description:
Infographics and videos on Renewable Energy: Powering Equality for a Green Recovery. Three women leaders from Bangladesh, Cambodia, and Viet Nam.
Why Bangladesh:
- Bangladesh is vulnerable to climate change due to its low-lying topography and high-levels of poverty.
- There is a lack of engagement of women across the renewable energy sector.
- Time spent on unpaid care and domestic work has increased significantly since COVID-19, while overall sales of renewable energy products have decreased as communities save cash for essential needs.
- Even as more women become qualified to work in the renewable energy sector, social norms still prevent them from gaining employment.

Why Cambodia:
- The agriculture sector is highly vulnerable to climate change due to its dependence on a rain fed system.
- Time spent on unpaid care and domestic work has increased since COVID-19, while willingness to invest in renewable energy equipment has decreased as communities save cash for essential needs.
- While renewables-powered technologies can greatly benefit women farmers, families may struggle to afford them.
- Gender norms limit women’s ability to grow their network, give them less access to information and new technology and promotes male bias in decision-making.

Why Viet Nam:
- Women farmers, especially those from marginalized groups, miss out on the benefits of renewable energy technologies because their voice in decision-making is limited.
- Most jobs related to science, technology, engineering and math are traditionally seen as suitable only for men so women are significantly underrepresented.
- Renewable energy is not being maximized for creating livelihoods and developing enterprises due to the lack of awareness on how it can be applied for this purpose.
- Time spent on unpaid care and domestic work has increased significantly since COVID-19, while overall sales of renewable energy products have decreased as communities save cash for essential needs.
