Convened by Times Higher Education at the Global Sustainable Development Congress, the Global Sustainability Leaders' Summit is an invitation-only event designed to bring business leaders into direct dialogue with their peers from higher education, government and civil society.

This exclusive summit will focus on solutions for radically accelerating shared sustainability goals through collaborative leadership and systems change, bridging theoretical insights and practical application, and offering organisations solutions for short-term challenges and paths to reach long-term goals.

Together, high-level thought leaders and experts will explore how collaboration is crucial for driving sustainable progress in today’s complex world. Focusing on cross-sector partnerships, we will address key challenges including:

• Collaborative leadership to respond to crises, close the SDG finance gap, leverage digital transformation, promote equality and enhance climate adaptation and resilience
• Fostering sustainable leadership through climate literacy
• Leading with vision beyond 2030 to ensure a sustainable future for all

Sustainable leadership is essential as we navigate the path to net-zero futures. By driving innovation, fostering collaboration and prioritising long-term thinking and resilience, leaders play a pivotal role in ensuring that businesses, governments, higher education institutions and NGOs align their efforts to create a sustainable, equitable world for generations to come.
