There is no one way to have an impact, so there is no one way by which TIME measures the influence essential to its selections. As a result, and by design, the [2022 TIME100 Next](https://time.com/collection/time100-next-2022/ "undefined") list features musicians as well as medical professionals, government officials as well as movement leaders, and high-profile whistle-blowers alongside top CEOs—all curated by TIME’s journalists and informed by their reporting. What unites these individuals are their extraordinary efforts to shape our world—and to define our future.
