Magnolia Moonshot 2030 (MM2030)

Magnolia Moonshot 2030 (MM2030) is a new narrative for women’s leadership, creating the conditions to activate our collective power to address the greatest challenges we face today. By convening networks of women leaders who are urgently addressing the climate crisis, MM2030 amplifies our collective ability for positive impact.

As a project within the Academy for Systems Change, our specific Magnolia approach is comprised of 3 parts: Awareness-based systems thinking, Connecting, collaborating and cross-pollinating solutions, ideas and innovations for grounding our work in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, Climate Justice and Equity and Equality. We believe each person’s ‘inner work’ is as crucial as the ‘outer work’ if we are to affect large scale systems change.
