    Scope & contentAs the fastest growing renewable energy in the EU and one of the EU’s most rapidly expanding maritime sectors, offshore renewable energy will be a key employer in Europe’s blue economy. However, with only 21% of the global wind workforce made up of women (both onshore and offshore), the sector has so far failed to create equal opportunities for women.
