"If you want to be genuinely informed about energy and climate in 2026, LinkedIn is one of the most overlooked places to look. For this Forbes column, I pulled together a list of women worth following on LinkedIn who are shaping how energy and climate conversations evolve across science, geopolitics, business, policy, startups, and markets. The criteria were straightforward: at least 10,000 followers, regular posting on issues that extend beyond their immediate workplace,"
"Katharine Hayhoe is Chief Scientist at The Nature Conservancy and one of the most recognizable climate communicators in the world. She is best known for translating climate science into human terms that resonate across political and cultural divides. On LinkedIn, she posts explanations of climate risk, adaptation, and why communication itself is one of the most powerful climate tools. She is also the author of the bestselling book Saving Us, and her feed consistently models how rigor and empathy can coexist in climate discourse."
LinkedIn surfaces influential women shaping energy and climate conversations across science, geopolitics, business, policy, startups, and markets. The selection requires at least 10,000 followers, regular posts that extend beyond immediate workplace updates, and a demonstrated habit of synthesis, analysis, or perspective. These voices publish substance-driven content rather than promotional announcements, offering high-signal ways to track the energy and climate transition. Examples include Katharine Hayhoe, who translates climate science into human terms and models how rigor and empathy can coexist, and Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, who centers justice and oceans in climate discourse through science, policy, and narrative framing. The list pairs expertise with communication skill.
