If You Don’t See Anyone Like You, It’s Because You’re Meant to Be There, with Joana Simão Costa and Ilaria Conti | Energ’Ethic - Climate Justice and Energy Transition

Description

This episode is a call to action.

Recorded at the stunning Florence School of Regulation with sponsorship from Energy Traders Europe, this special episode of Energ’Ethic shines a very necessary light on the link between representation, power, and progress in the energy transition.

Let’s say it again: there’s no energy transition without equality. From gas platforms with no toilets for women, to boardrooms still stuck in the status quo, the energy sector has work to do. But there are people doing that work, and doing it brilliantly.

Enter Joana Simão Costa, who leads the European Commission’s Equality Platform, and Ilaria Conti, behind the Lights on Women initiative and the LUCE Awards.

Together, we unpack:

why the Equality Platform is rewriting the rules from the inside,
how Lights on Women and the LUCE Awards went from grassroots frustration to global celebration, and
what it really takes to turn systemic bias into collective momentum.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever walked into a room and felt out of place, and for those ready to build rooms where everyone belongs.

Highlights:

“Should we fix the women or fix the system?”
Spoiler: it’s the system. Always.

“No ladies’ toilet at the gas substation? That’s the message.”
Inclusion starts with infrastructure

"If you don’t see anyone like you in the room, it’s because you are unique. Find what makes you you—and build on it.”
Yes. That’s a quote worth framing

From idea to impact
How Lights on Women handed out over 50 training scholarships, and why visibility is still half the battle

Mentoring, but smarter
Inside the Equality Platform’s B2B mentoring: because no one should have to reinvent equality on their own

LUCE means light, and action
Why celebrating legacy leaders and emerging talents matters. For confidence. For visibility. For change

About Energ’Ethic - Climate Justice and Energy Transition

Energ’Ethic is a podcast exploring the human, institutional, and ethical dimensions of the energy transition.

Hosted by Marine Cornelis, Energ’Ethic brings together policymakers, regulators, industry leaders, city practitioners, researchers, and civil society voices to examine what makes energy transitions succeed—or fail—in the real world.

Beyond technology and targets, the podcast focuses on trust, power, consumer rights, digitalisation, and energy justice. Each conversation connects policy and market design with lived experience, unpacking how decisions taken in boardrooms and institutions translate into everyday realities for people and communities.

Energ’Ethic is not about slogans or quick fixes. It is a space for rigorous, grounded conversations about resilience, legitimacy, and the social conditions required for lasting climate and energy strategies.

Listen to Energ’Ethic to:

Hear first-hand perspectives from those shaping energy and climate policy from the inside
Understand how governance, regulation, and technology affect consumers and communities
Explore energy and climate justice through practical, experience-based insights

Energ’Ethic speaks to an engaged audience of decision-makers and practitioners working at the intersection of policy, markets, cities, and society.

Organisations can partner with Energ’Ethic to support high-quality dialogue and reach a thoughtful, policy-literate audience committed to a fair and resilient energy transition.
