Renewable energy is the energy generated from natural sources that replenish at a higher rate than they are consumed. Renewable energy is an alternative source of combating climate change. The common sources of renewable energy are solar, wind, hydro, geothermal and biomass. Renewable energy is currently known to be the fastest growing source of energy in the world. Renewable energy can combat climate change because it creates no direct greenhouse gas emissions, decrease pollution and reduces threat to our health. They are term as a reliable source of power because they never run out. According to IRENA, the global renewable workforce constitutes 32% of women, which literally means they are underrepresented. In the renewable energy sector, perceptions on gender roles are a major barrier to women’s participation and opportunities. Capacity building of women in renewable energy is the first step in increasing women’s opportunities; we need to be empowered to promote diverse talents in the sector.
