The SustainabilityX® Magazine released its third annual Global 50 Women in Sustainability Awards list earlier this month, highlighting women making significant contributions to sustainability causes and demonstrating leadership in the field. Nicole Darnall, Kogod School of Business professor of management and Eminent Scholar Chair in Sustainability, is among this year’s honorees, reflecting her decades of work in sustainability in business, policy, and higher education.
“This year’s awards celebrate the fearless and innovative women who are leading the charge in sustainability, redefining leadership, and driving transformative change across the globe,” said the SustainabilityX® Magazine team in a press release announcing the list.
The theme for this year’s awards is ‘Embrace Boldness,’ the women on the list exemplify innovation, fearlessness, and forward-thinking in their work to advance sustainability. In a time that demands drastic action to reduce the impact of climate events already being felt globally, leaders in sustainability must be willing to seek out new solutions and advocate loudly for every aspect of our planet. Darnall and her fellow honorees represent the magazine’s theme of bold leadership and provide examples of what today’s leaders in sustainability must be.
