This presentation by the International […]
Wind farms tend to be large projects built in relatively remote areas, and in the past, they have often generated more disturbance than benefits for local communities. This World Bank report discusses models that allow host communities of wind energy projects to benefit more from those projects.
This is Energypedia’s Wind Portal. It provides an overview of wind energy technology, preparatory studies needed to plan a wind energy project, wind energy policy frameworks, and wind energy project implementation, operation, MEL and impacts.
This report provides baseline data on women’s employment in wind energy, as well as information on barriers to gender equality and recommendations to close gender gaps.
Institutions all over the world are setting up microcredentials in responses to calls from governments and industry: short courses, usually offered online by accredited institutions, with an emphasis on the needs of the workplace.
