📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本でも風力発電の拡大に伴い、多様な人材確保が課題となっている。本論文の欧州事例は、日本の風力業界におけるDEI推進の参考となり、特に女性やマイノリティの参画促進策として応用可能である。
In the global GX context
As wind energy expands globally to meet net-zero targets, workforce diversity is critical for innovation and growth. This paper provides practical tools and survey data from Europe that can inform DEI strategies in the global wind sector, addressing a key social dimension of the energy transition.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:The EAWE DEI survey design and recommendations offer a framework for studying workforce diversity in renewable energy sectors.
🏢実務担当者:HR and diversity teams in wind energy companies can use the suggested actions and resource database to improve inclusion.
🏛政策担当者:Policymakers can refer to the DEI targets (e.g., UK offshore wind sector deal) and adapt similar measures to ensure a skilled and diverse wind energy workforce.
📄 Abstract（原文）
The global energy and utilities sector faces a significant skills shortage [1]. For example, in the EU, in sectors relevant to the energy transition, vacancy rates doubled from 2020 to 2023 [2]. In wind energy, the large growth in the workforce has resulted in companies reporting difficulty in hiring, both in the US [3] and EU [4]. If wind energy science is to develop to the extent needed to meet net zero targets [5], it must access and retain a wide talent pool [6]. To date, the wind energy sector has failed to do this. For example, women were found to represent only 21% of the workforce, compared to 32% in renewables overall [6], and 5% of employees in the UK’s offshore wind workforce have a black, Asian and minority ethnic background [7]. Increasing pressure to improve diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), such as the diversity targets set out in the UK offshore wind sector deal [8] is driving organisations to look for solutions to adopt best practices, but there is limited understanding of how to do this [9, 10]. In this work, we show how the European Academy of Wind Energy’s (EAWE) Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Committee is contributing to fostering a diverse workforce in wind energy. First, the design and results of the EAWE DEI Survey 2025 is presented. Next, recommendations for actions that both individuals and organisations in the sector could take to contribute to ensuring a diverse workforce are introduced, which were developed based on the results of the survey. Then, a Powerpoint slide for people to integrate into meetings to encourage openness and inclusion is described. Finally, a Resource Database is presented, which aims to provide practical guidance and innovative ideas for fostering a more inclusive environment in the wind energy sector.
