"Time is not on our side in the race to achieve net zero by 2050," Martha Broad, executive director of the MIT Energy Initiative, said at a recent conference for women in clean energy.
"However, by increasing the gender diversity of the energy sector, we're putting our best team forward to tackle this challenge."
MIT News reports the 12th annual Women in Clean Energy Education and Empowerment (C3E) Symposium and Awards was held at MIT and focused on "clearing hurdles to achieve net zero by 2050: Moving quickly, eliminating risks, and leaving no one behind."
C3E is part of the C3E Initiative, which aims to connect women in clean energy, recognize the accomplishments of leaders across different fields, and engage more women in the enterprise of decarbonization.
"I have several groups of women in my life'and whenever I am doing something really difficult, I like to close my eyes for a minute and imagine their hands right on my shoulders and just giving me that support and pushing me forward to do the thing that I need to do," CleanCapital's Melinda Baglio tells MIT News.
