Description

The Green Transition requires a broader involvement of women for a better future, where energy, climate and sustainability goals are to be achieved. In an effort to further gender mainstreaming in these sectors and highlight women’s role and achievements in the Green Transition, the Lights on Women initiative is proud to launch the LUCE Awards. 

The Emerging Talent category of the LUCE Awards is established to recognise the achievements of up-and-coming female academics, entrepreneurs, founders (also of non-registered projects), advocates and young civil society leaders working to advance the Green Transition agenda worldwide. 

The Awards

On 16 May 2024, the LUCE Awards will award prizes in recognition of two categories of women working in the energy, climate and sustainability sectors:

  • Emerging Talent 
  • Legacy Woman 

With these awards, the Lights on Women initiative aims to shed light on the careers of talented women conducting activities or projects meant to further the green transition everywhere in the world.

Potential areas of work and research of the candidates include the energy transition, climate emergency, energy access, energy poverty and sustainable development goals, renewables and more.
