SDG7 Affordable and Clean Energy
Part 3: Expert-Youth Interaction Session
The youth webinar aims to uncover the interactions of climate change, Biodiversity, Disaster risk reduction (DRR), and Sustainable energy in light of the Covid-19 crisis. In our third installment of this webinar, we've invited senior subject expert guest speakers who will discuss addressing the synergies/trade-offs and connection between the above-mentioned topics and transformation to a new normal post-global pandemic.
The selected entrepreneurs will attend an online bootcamp to build their knowledge and skills in sustainability, communications, carbon footprinting and business planning. The bootcamp will also build a support network between likeminded entrepreneurs.
This training is organized in the context of acquiring a better understanding of the integration of the Water-Energy-Food (WEF) Nexus that is essential for human well-being, poverty alleviation, and achieving multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Over two-thirds of households in India still rely on traditional biomass for cooking. Open fires and primitive stoves are rather inefficient at converting energy into heat for cooking and emit a significant amount of smoke which can have harmful effects on heath as well as on the environment. While women play a major role in family lives, being those who are cooking, collecting firewood, water, and working in agriculture, they are seldom included in decision-making processes.
