Of the rising stars and changemakers on the 2022 list, TIME editor in chief and CEO Edward Felsenthal writes: “Real change requires urgency and the determination to respond with speed to global challenges such as the climate crisis. The leaders featured on this year’s TIME100 Next list have demonstrated that spirit. They are shaping our world—and demanding we join them.”
“The individuals on this year’s TIME100 Next are blazing new trails in science, technology, entertainment, business, activism, philanthropy, and more, and their influence will change our world in extraordinary ways,” says editorial director of the TIME100 Dan Macsai.
