Green hydrogen is an imperative to meet Paris Agreement goals and net-zero initiatives that have been pledged by international society.
I strongly believe, the 'Women in Green Hydrogen' will play a critical role in promoting the potential demonstrated from the versatile characteristics of hydrogen, but also in further enhancing women empowerment by inspiring women to engage in the energy field and synergize in tackling climate change.
Ms. Eunji Park is currently working at the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (Vienna HQ), Climate and Technology Partnerships Division. She is mainly involved in projects for green hydrogen application in developing countries and transition economies.
She is further engaged in the following activities:
• Positioning UNIDO at high-level, global fora such as the climate change COP and developing institutional partnerships with key partners.
• Actively developing capacity building initiatives through the support of green hydrogen projects with a focus in South Africa, Malaysia, the Philippines and Brazil.
• Engaged in the joint partnership with the Women in Green Hydrogen to enhance visibility of women in the sector through the 'Women in Industry' webinar series co-organized with UNIDO.
She is a graduate of the London School of Economics and Political Science with an academic background in environmental policies and development.
