Tackling our greatest
CHALLENGES
In 2025, the Summit focuses on Cultivating Climate-Positive Cities, encouraging young changemakers to co-create solutions for more resilient and sustainable urban futures. Through sustainability, entrepreneurship, and cross-cultural collaboration, participants will address urgent climate risks and urban challenges aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Goal 11:
Sustainable Cities and Communities
To make cities inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.
​Why?
Cities are centres of economic growth and innovation, but they also face challenges such as environmental degradation, social inequality, housing issues, pollution, and transportation gaps. This goal encourages solutions that improve affordable housing, public transport, green spaces, and sustainable urban planning.
Goal 13:
Climate Action
To take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
​Why?
Climate action is urgent as extreme weather events become more frequent and severe, threatening communities worldwide. Rapid action is needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, limit global warming, and build climate-resilient communities. The Summit highlights the role of youth in creating innovative solutions for climate-positive cities.
