There are times, when we are all frustrated that the world is not addressing the pressing environmental and social concerns that we are seeing, feeling and reading about. It can feel very lonely and bewildering. ‘How come everyone isn’t up in arms?’ ‘What on earth we each, together and independently, do?’
That said, sustainability and the areas of good growth and the drive towards a fair and equitable world, are much more prevalent today than in the past. We are much clearer on the need to shift all our actions – consumption, production, financing, living – towards more sustainable outcomes. That’s not to say, it’s easy. It’s still bewildering why all jobs aren’t ‘green’ jobs or ‘equity’ jobs, or ‘in service of all life’ jobs.
But things are definitely changing, due to the amazing and inspiring people dedicating their life and work to this effort. In all fields, be that corporate or not-for-profit, public or private sector; we are supported by a glorious and joyous army of people, who, in their own unique ways, stand shoulder to shoulder in fighting for all our futures.
Get inspiredRecognising the need we all have for continuous inspiration, learning, and the power of good life story; on International Women’s Day 2024 we kicked off an on-going series, profiling the amazing women leading the way to a better future for us all.
Some of these women are in high profile corporate roles focused on financial services, food production, technology, broadcasting and many more sectors. Some are social innovators, entrepreneurs or academics. Some are mobilising communities to improve our housing or human rights. We hear from former wildlife film producers and intelligence agents. We hear from women who have been so moved by people’s plights they hosted refugees for several years. What unites them is the drive to not just ‘make a difference’, but make THE difference. To bring all their skills and experiences to bear to reimagine and rebuild our systems for the betterment of all.
We would like to thank all of those who took the time to tell us their story, and all those still to come! Long may they reign and find the path and blaze the trail.
