Connected Women Leaders

Connected Women Leaders (CWL) is a cohort curated across geographies, generations, expertise and experience to convene forums on some of the world’s most urgent threats: climate justice, food security, global health, economic inequities, and with a gender and racial lens, working together to shape just, equitable and sustainable solutions. We believe stories are our bridges and connecting women to each other to share their stories, their learnings, ideas and insights creates a collective force for problem solving and positive change.
