Imagine thousands of young people coming together across the planet to tackle global challenges such as energy, food, biodiversity, water quality and climate change and plan together on how they can lead positive social change.

Our Aim

To accelerate the shift to a fairer future by building a movement of inspired leaders.

Youth Leading the World begins with a youth leadership congress followed by a youth-led community forum.

Youth Leading the World (YLTW) works at the local and global level.

    • Measure your ecological footprint.

    • Listen to our Pulse of the Planet presentation (local and global sustainability challenges).

    • Prioritise your concerns.

    • Create a vision for a sustainable future.

    • Brainstorm ways to create change.

    • Develop a One Planet Living Plan.

    • Share ideas with the global network.

    • Develop an action plan to achieve your sustainability vision

    • Organise a Youth-Led Community Forum.

    • Plan the forum and set a date.

    • Invite government, local business, parents, teachers, principals ad the public to attend our forum.

    • Gain support for your action plan.

“For me, as a YLTW facilitator, it’s knowing I’ve changed people… that’s pretty big. It’s been life changing, eye-opening and changed the way I look at everything.”

- Chris Rowlands (age 19)
