Do you understand a multi-platform media offering, and can you support driving a policy agenda across different areas? Are you able to engage with the challenges of AI generated news content and widely circulated disinformation?

    As the apex association for the global wind industry, GWEC works with leading global companies regional and national associations, drives policy development, business leadership, global outreach and information and education around the world. It has a range of partnerships with international institutions and organisations and plays a strong role in international climate forums such as COP. GWEC is also a founding partner of the Global Renewables Alliance (multi technology renewable energy advocacy), the Global Offshore Wind Alliance (with Denmark and IRENA) and the initiator of the Ocean Energy Pathway programme. GWEC also founded the Women In Wind Leadership programme and is active across the world in promoting gender diversity and parity and campaigning more broadly for a Just Energy Transition.
