Women in Climate & Energy Learning Meetup - July 2026
This is a monthly virtual (via zoom) meetup for women who work in, or want to work in, climate and the energy transition.
We will use a Lean Coffee format, where we co-create the agenda real-time and get through the topics that are most interesting to the group. Each month we'll pick 1-2 relevant energy and climate industry learning themes to focus on.
This month we're featuring 2 topics:
