Clean Energy Ministerial 2019

The Clean Energy Ministerial represents one of the most significant international gatherings of energy ministers and industry leaders focused on accelerating the global clean energy transition. The 2019 Vancouver event holds particular significance for the Canadian energy sector as it serves as the platform for presenting the C3E Energy Awards, developed in collaboration between Natural Resources Canada and Women in Renewable Energy (WiRE). These awards recognize outstanding contributions by women in the clean energy sector across wind, solar, and hydroelectric technologies, as well as presenting the prestigious Woman of the Year award. The ministerial provides a crucial forum for discussing policy frameworks, technological innovations, and workforce development initiatives that are shaping the future of global energy systems. For industry professionals, the event offers unparalleled networking opportunities with international energy leaders and insights into emerging trends that will define clean energy markets. The presentation of diversity and inclusion awards at this venue underscores the growing recognition that achieving clean energy goals requires drawing on the full spectrum of available talent, making this event particularly relevant for organizations focused on workforce development and gender equality in energy sectors.
