Implications of Energy Technology Innovation for Gender and Social Inclusion in South Asia

The focus of this research is the energy transition in developing Asia and implications for inclusive development, particularly gender equity and social inclusion. Project Leader Dr Reihana Mohideen has been leading this work looking at the rural energy transition and pathways to improve energy access and consequently maximise benefits for gender equity and social inclusion.

Asia’s energy transition is being driven by increasing energy demand and the commitment from developing Asia’s economies to decrease emissions in order to reduce the average rise in global temperatures.
