About the Organization

At the heart of every global threat is a failure of leadership. This new generation is the most informed, most educated, most connected generation in human history. One Young World identifies, promotes and connects the world’s most impactful young leaders to create a better world, with more responsible, more effective leadership.

About the Scholarship

The climate crisis is one of the most important societal challenges of our time. The pandemic is proof that clearer air, cleaner water, fewer emissions, and healthier ecosystems are achievable if we act now. As the world begins to recover, it is critical that we don’t just return to the ways of doing things as before; we must continue taking climate actions to avoid the most catastrophic effects of climate change. To reach the goals of the Paris Agreement, we all must use this moment to find and develop collective and innovative solutions to build a better, more sustainable, future.

At Deloitte, we are committed to addressing climate change both within our organization and beyond through our WorldClimate strategy. We recognize that change starts within, and we must set and meet higher standards for ourselves, empower our professionals, and connect with our broader ecosystem to create solutions that facilitate the transition to a low carbon economy. We must work collectively to accomplish change.
