In honor of Women’s Month, we are happy to launch a very special four-part series, The Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women, a podcast from Foreign Policy, brought to you this season by Daughters for Earth.
The series explores stories of leadership, perseverance, and the women striving to transform entrenched patriarchal power structures.
Conversations include women environmental leaders and those at the forefront of planetary health solutions. You will hear from pioneers such as Christiana Figueres, founder of Global Optimism and chief negotiator of the Paris Climate Agreement, and wildlife conservationist Shivani Bhalla, founder of Ewaso Lions.
Across four episodes, you’ll discover how investing in women drives environmental, economic, and social transformation, rooted in community and reciprocity.
“The most successful approaches are the ones that come from the bottom up – from the people most closely bonded to their landscape.”
In a time when headlines feel heavy and the future uncertain, we can find hope in new approaches with the women who are redefining leadership and cultivating islands of coherence – in a place where communities are addressing planetary health in regenerative ways that sustain both humanity and the natural world.
