Activate the leadership potential of talented young academics at Next Leader’s Asia Summit 2019

Limiting global warming to 1.5ºC would require rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said in their assessment last October 2018. Who else to make non-incremental changes than the open-minded, technologically minded and digitally connected youngsters who care for their only planet?

This gathering of minds is for the participants to learn and share on the latest of sustainability trends, on the skills needed to lead ground-breaking sustainability projects, and to make new connections to collaborate with one another to start-up initiatives to impact local realities.
