Leaders from around the world gathered in Rio de Janeiro along with NGO representatives to discuss issues such as production patterns, the growing scarcity of water, alternate energy uses and climate change, in what came to be called the EARTH SUMMIT.
While the world was preparing for the Earth Summit; LEAD identified the urgent need for a new generation of Global leaders. Since then, we have been recruiting talented individuals from key sectors and professionals all over the world to be part of a growing network now standing at 2000 leaders, who are committed to changing the world.
Every one of our leaders is a graduate of LEAD’s International Fellows Training Programme, an intensive and demanding programme designed to enhance leadership ability, strengthen sustainable development knowledge and foster the relationships that will continue to support the Fellows in their life work.
This cross-sectoral, cross-cultural programme has been at the heart of LEAD’s activities across the globe.
