The future belongs to those who can lead in complexity.
Australia’s next generation faces unprecedented challenges. They will need to be collaborative, adaptive, and systemic in their leadership.
Climate change, inequality, and social fragmentation create complex challenges that no single institution can solve. Young people bring energy, innovation, and diverse perspectives — but they need practical opportunities to develop leadership capacity.
Why It Matters:
- Young leaders must be equipped to navigate global complexity.
- Exposure to international forums and policy spaces builds negotiation and collaboration skills.
- Investing in youth leadership now creates resilient systems for tomorrow.
What We Do:
Through the Emerging Leaders Platform, we:
- Support fellowships and scholarships for young Australians to participate in UN, OECD, and multilateral forums.
- Incubate youth-led ideas and innovations.
- Create challenge prizes and ethical design competitions for systemic problem-solving.
