Part of The Club of Rome and The Centre for Finance and Development (IHEID) Collaborative Series, this event is focused on fostering meaningful engagement between young voices and influential leaders in the realms of policy, business, academia, and impact investing. Our goal is to create a platform where the perspectives of young people can be genuinely heard, valued, and integrated into innovation processes, shaping the future of international governance and finance. The panel will be addressing the following questions and beyond.
– How to ensure that the perspectives of young people are heard by policymakers, as well as business and academic leaders?
– How to enable and inspire our future leaders to recognise and contribute their personal capacity in international governance and finance to the emerging field of impact investing?
– How to empower young people and amplify voices that are often suppressed or overlooked through the development of an inclusive and diverse community of storytellers?
