This list contains executives who have redirected corporate resources toward regenerative practices, scientists who developed technologies that seemed implausible a decade ago, community organisers who transformed local economies and policymakers who navigated competing interests to enact meaningful change.

What's striking is not just their individual achievements, but the networks they've built – collaborations that cross disciplines, borders and ideological divides. In these connections lie our most promising paths forward.

We hope you enjoy exploring the incredible careers of these inspiring women.
