A series of insights and interviews that reflect on the role, influence and impact of women in the field of sustainable development
An event featuring the current generation of outstanding women in development, in honour of IIED’s founder and inspirational speaker Barbara Ward.
From agriculture to climate change, and land rights to technology, outstanding women across the world are working on sustainable development in areas that impact all aspects of life.
This series of interviews and blogs was launched on International Women's Day in March 2018 ahead of the Barbara Ward Lecture.
The lecture was given by the first woman Prime Minister of Norway, Gro Harlem Bruntland, who chaired the UN World Commission of Environment and Development that presented the groundbreaking Our Common Future report on sustainable development.
