Women in Science Leadership: A New Era for Sustainability Tackling some of the greatest challenges of the Agenda for Sustainable Development - from improving health to combating climate change - will rely on harnessing all talent. That means getting more women working in these fields. Diversity in research expands the pool of talented researchers, bringing in fresh perspectives, talent and creativity. This Day is a reminder that women and girls play a critical role in science and technology communities and that their participation should be strengthened. #womeninrenewables #womeninscience #womeninengineering #girlsinscienceandengineering

The Lack of Women in Leadership as Tech CEOs. It is very sad to learn that Susan Wojcicki died at the age of 56 with lung cancer. We further lack behing in gender diversity here. I am here to bring a mother in tech perspective to this industry advocating for the responsible and conscious use of technology for the betterment of humanity and protection of our planet. INNOVATION alone can’t create a bettee world to future generations because people decide how it is used, and it can be to help or harm humanity. Therefore the foundation of Earth sustainability is an investment in a BETTER HUMANITY. People if integrity and a social and environmentally conscious mind. I Angelica Figueiredo White am committed in provide unbiases perspective on technologies , and to create and advocate for technology that is good for people and our planet. #technologyforgood #betterhumansbetterworld #technology #women #leadership

🌟 Closing Keynote: Rise and Lead for sustainability 🌟 Dr Audrey-Flore Ngomsik, CEO Trianon Scientific Communicationdelivered a powerful closing keynote for the Day 1 of the #RiseandLead Summit. She started by asking the question "What is innovation?" ➡ Research does not necessarily lead to innovation, but innovation always comes from research. ❓ But who is doing research? ➡ If people with the same biases are the ones doing research, then we end up with innovations that are equally biased. The developments and innovations in technology have essentially been following the evolution of the definition of masculinity. For many years, if a product was considered to be targeting women's market, it had no value. And yet! There have been many women researchers and innovators! 🎯 Call to action: We need more intersectionality where decisions are made. By examining barriers and highlighting success stories, we can build a clear roadmap for organizations to rise up and lead the charge towards a more equitable, resilient, and sustainable future. #rlsummit2024 #riseandlead #sustainablefuture #diversityequityinclusion

📊 Did you know that despite their significant contributions, women represent only 33.3% of all researchers globally? 🧠 Diversity in the field of science means new and different perspectives. New and different perspectives mean new and different ideas. 💡New and different ideas mean innovation in solving the world's most pressing problems, including our reliance on regionally dominated non-renewable resources, causing wars, refugees, inflation, natural disasters, drought, food scarcity... you name it! 👩🔬I want to see more women in science, and ICL PLANET Startup Hub is a prime example of an organization where women are taking the lead, driving investments, research, and innovation. If you want to share today about being a woman in science or wanting more women in science, here is a toolkit with everything you need! 👉 https://lnkd.in/dBRXCz-g #WomenInScience #GenderEquality #STEM #IWD2024 #February11 #ICLWomenInScience

Celebrating Women in Innovation & Academia On International Women’s Day 2024, the Climate Innovation Platform (CIP) and TEP proudly spotlights the diverse talents within our cohorts and celebrates the invaluable contributions of women in innovation and academia. We welcomed Luisa Orsini, CEO of Daphne Water Solutions and Professor at the University of Birmingham UK, to share her reflections. Luisa Orsini stands as a shining example of determination and innovation in cleantech and has emphasised the importance of diversity and inclusivity in driving progress, recognising the barriers women often face and advocating for collective action to overcome them. As the CEO of Daphne Water Solutions and a Professor of Evolutionary Systems Biology and Environmental Omics, I am constantly reminded of the pivotal role women play in driving innovation forward, particularly in the realm of climate technology. The challenges we face today, from climate change to environmental degradation, require innovative solutions, and it is imperative that we harness the diverse perspectives and talents of all individuals, regardless of gender. I lead a successful multidisciplinary team that contributes to address major challenges in modern society. Driven by a commitment to translating scientific breakthroughs into tangible solutions for environmental issues, I ventured into the realm of business. This led to the establishment of Daphne Water Solutions, aimed at combatting pervasive chemical pollution in water sources. Luisa’s reflections serve as a powerful reminder of the significant contributions women make to innovation and academia.

Unbound Summits Recognises Women in #CarbonDioxideRemoval, #STEM, #Resiliency and #Adaptation - #InternationalWomensDay #IWD #IWD2024 At Unbound Summits, we're proud to have a team that's 50% female—a statistic that might surprise when you consider that, according to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics, only 28% of the global workforce in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields are women. In the fields of carbon removal and adaptation, where we’re facing the most urgent and dangerous challenge of our lifetimes, innovation is key to solving the climate crisis at pace. Greater gender diversity in our industry is more vital than ever. 🔹 The peer-reviewed Innovation: Management, Policy & Practice - found that Gender-balanced teams are better at problem-solving and statistical models and that companies with more women were more likely to introduce radical new innovations into the market over a two-year period. 🔹 McKinsey & Company analysis uncovered a statistically significant relationship between a more gender-diverse leadership teams and better growth and financial performance. We can’t just celebrate it; we have to embody it. We're so grateful for the talent, passion, and dedication of our female team members, Chantal Spit, Joana Rousseau, and Kat Turner, who are helping us push the boundaries of what's possible in our industry. Here's to you and partners like Women and Climate, who push the #climateaction industry forward daily. #WomenInSTEM #ClimateAction #GenderDiversity #FutureofSustainability #BreakTheBias
