Conservation International CEO Dr. M. Sanjayan Named Time100 Climate Leader

TIME today named Conservation International’s Chief Executive Officer Dr. M. Sanjayan to the inaugural TIME100 Climate list, recognizing the 100 most innovative leaders driving business climate action. Also on the list are two members of Conservation International’s Board of Directors: fashion designer Stella McCartney and Apple’s Vice President of Environment, Policy and Social Initatives Lisa Jackson.

Sanjayan is a conservation scientist and heads Conservation International, a non-profit that working with governments, civil society and the private sector to conserve nature, primarily in the Global South. TIME notes that Sanjayan’s skills as a science communicator have helped Conservation International facilitate powerful partnerships for environmental protection.

We cannot plant and restore our way out of the climate crisis, but we also cannot afford to ignore nature,” Sanjayan told TIME. “As scientists gain insight into the carbon cycle, we’re discovering new ways to turbocharge nature’s ability to capture and accelerate atmospheric carbon removals while providing many benefits to communities.”

“Solutions must address Global South exigencies. They must be justice-oriented and resilient,” he added.

To assemble the list, TIME's editors and reporters fielded nominations and recommendations from industry leaders and partner organizations like Global Optimism and The B Team, as well as TIMECO2’s Advisory Council, then worked to assess the candidates on a variety of factors, including recency of action, measurable results, and influence.
