Green Deal Women's Panel (closed)
A group of female energy consumers who advised the government on ways to influence public opinion on the Green Deal.
The panel was disbanded in October 2012. Find out about the Green Deal.
Role of the group
The panel was formed to provide government with recommendations on effective communication and engagement routes to reach women and influence public opinion on the benefits of installing Green Deal measures.
The panel’s objectives were to consider:
- the most effective key messages to engage women in the Green Deal
- the best engagement routes (national and local networks and mechanisms) for promoting the Green Deal to women
- which barriers exist for women to take-up the Green Deal and how to overcome them
- what networks and resources exist within the Women’s Panel and whether there is a possibility of enlisting ‘spokespeople’
