From climate activism to conservation, innovation to leadership, women are shaping a more sustainable and just world. This International Women’s Day, we honor eight extraordinary women who are redefining what’s possible – reviving ecosystems, protecting Indigenous rights, transforming climate finance and strengthening food security.
These scientists, leaders, ecopreneurs and storytellers prove that local action creates global impact. Whether they’re restoring wetlands in Bolivia, harnessing AI for agriculture in Africa or empowering women-led conservation initiatives, their work is shaping a healthier, more resilient planet.
Join us in celebrating their vision, leadership and unwavering dedication to people and the planet.
