About The Week

Uniting Young leaders, Policy makers, Industry experts, investors to accelerate SDG Performance.

In 2015, the world united with a shared vision to tackle pressing global challenges, establishing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a blueprint for a better, healthier planet. But we are not moving fast enough. The urgency of our time demands youth involvement, stronger partnerships, and bolder actions. How can we empower the next generation to lead the sustainability agenda? How do we mobilize businesses to invest in green innovations? How can we leverage AI and STEM solutions to address inequality and promote inclusive development.

We need to rethink, reimagine, and realign our actions.

These questions call for a transformative shift in thinking and strategy. At YLSW, we believe youth with their innovative minds and fresh prespectives play a central role in achieving these goals. We are gathering world leaders, policymakers, industry experts, investors, entrepreneurs, and passionate youth advocates from around the globe to rethink, reorganize, and act with purpose. With youth at the heart of the event, YLSW empowers young voices as key agents of change, fostering dialogue across sectors to tackle environmental challenges and inspire fresh, impactful approaches to sustainability. We must move beyond dialogue to implement concrete solutions, drive the global sustainability agenda, and advance the SDGs.

The time for change is now.
