Sustainability Leaders Asia Summit (OMLAS: One Million Leaders Asia) (Day 1)

Interested in the next generation of sustainability leadership in Asia?
Want to start your own sustainability project?
Connect with fellow aspiring young leaders in sustainability in Asia!

Sign up for our upcoming online two-day summit on 4 & 5 June 2022 and be inspired by talks by young sustainability leaders (below 40) in Asia and to discuss sustainability issues in Asia with like-minded participants.

This event is brought to you by NELIS (Next Leaders' Initiative for Sustainability).

NELIS' vision is to inspire one million leaders (OML) around the world in Africa, Latin America and Asia by 2030. Our OML programs in each of these regions are called OMLAS (Asia), OMLA (Africa), and OMLATAM (Latin America).

Participants are also invited to join our upcoming young leaders fellowship program (OMLAS Fellowship) later in the year. The fellowship program is targeted at young professionals in their 20s and 30s who have a keen interest in sustainability and starting initiatives to make changes to their local communities.

Seniors who are interested to become leadership mentors are also welcome to join.
