Leaders 2050 is a KPMG-led internal and external network for ambitious young professionals who are passionate about shaping the sustainable economy of tomorrow. The aim of the network is to equip the next generation with the skills, networks and goals they need to achieve a more sustainable future.
Why did we found Leaders 2050?
Young people and future leaders play a crucial role in promoting positive change.
Throughout their careers, young professionals will be at the centre of tackling key issues facing society today - from climate change to social inequality. The "voice of young professionals" is not always heard in the climate and decarbonisation debate.
Net Zero is one of the most important challenges of our time
Achieving net zero will be one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. Governments, businesses, investors, non-governmental organisations and consumers are increasingly recognising the need to act now to prevent the worst effects of climate change and limit global warming.
Industry networks are important for bringing about change
Realising Net Zero and tackling societal issues will be a complex journey that requires collaboration on an unprecedented scale. Leaders 2050 provides an opportunity to strengthen cross-sector relationships and bring together future leaders from diverse backgrounds to work towards a common goal.
Climate change is a global phenomenon and will impact us all. Despite this, its effects are not felt equally and those most impacted tend to be from the most disadvantaged groups. Solutions to help reduce or reverse climate change will have widespread impacts on all our lives, and it will be vital that they are implemented in a way that is balanced, fair, and just for all.
