This month’s cover goes to Dr.Kavya Michael and colleagues who explore the role of interventions prioritising care and knowledge in locally led energy transition initiatives and how they may contribute to the disruption of established gender norms. buff.ly/3yRdF77

nature.com/nenergy/volume… Elated to be featured on the cover of Nature Energy . Just transitions require disrupting gendered norms ans power structures.Energy needs to be understood not as purely technical but relational and embedded in our daily lives and lived realities.
