Energy transition is above all, about people. Humanmade climate change affects all citizens and communities of the world – though not everyone is impacted equally, with the poorest and most marginalised often at the sharp end of the disruption. But it is also people who hold the key to reversing the damage done by planetary warming and extreme climate related events. One key aspect to consider is the attractiveness of a career in energy transition to the next generation of the workforce. As we look to address the challenges of climate change, it is crucial to ensure that the energy sector can attract and retain a diverse range of talented individuals.
