Internationally‑published author and inspirational presenter Natalie Isaacs is the founder of 1 Million Women, a global movement of women and girls who take practical action to fight dangerous climate change by changing the way they live. Her first book, Every Woman’s Guide to Saving the Planet (HarperCollins/ABC Books, 2018), was republished in the UK in 2020 and in the US in 2021. Her second book, Right Here Right Now: How Women Can Lead the Climate Emergency
(HarperCollins, 2022), further amplifies her call to action.

Since launching 1 Million Women in 2009, Natalie has dedicated herself to empowering women to act on climate change. A former cosmetic manufacturer and small business owner, her own climate change journey from apathy to action delivers a simple message that resonates with women and girls of all ages. Natalie has motivated and empowered tens of thousands of schoolgirls and hundreds of thousands of women to change the way they use energy, buy and consume ‘stuff’, reduce food waste and other food choices, travel around, make fashion choices and invest their money. Natalie’s philosophy is that real behaviour change begins with personal action.

In 2017, Natalie was named the Australian Geographical Society Conservationist of the Year. In 2019, 1 Million Women won the Rare People’s Choice Award, a global award that honours behaviour change innovation, topping the popular vote out of 200 entries from 46 countries.
