Manage episode 477096127 series 3434954
In this episode, I talk to Leyla Rasulzade, a member of Women in Renewable Energy (WIRE), about her work in the energy transition, education, and sustainability. If you’re working in energy or looking to break into the sector, this conversation will give you real insights into the challenges and opportunities in renewable energy.
We discuss Leyla’s experience at COP29, her green economy education project, and how countries are navigating the shift away from fossil fuels. We also touch on the knowledge gap that holds some regions back—and how individuals and businesses can take action.
If you’re interested in career opportunities in renewable energy, global energy policy, or how to make a meaningful impact, this episode is for you.
Three Actionable Takeaways
📚 Educate the next generation – The energy transition isn’t just about technology; it’s about changing mindsets. Whether you’re a teacher, parent, or professional, consider how you can introduce sustainability concepts early.
🌍 Bridge the knowledge gap – Not every country or business has access to the same level of information about renewables. Sharing knowledge—whether through mentorship, partnerships, or community initiatives—can accelerate progress.
💡 Look for opportunities in the transition – The shift to a green economy is creating new jobs and industries. If you’re in oil and gas, consider how your skills could transfer to wind, solar, or green finance.
