During Dignity Day Vancouver, more than 50 Young Global Leaders will visit schools in the Vancouver area, and share their individual life and leadership experiences with local students.
For the first time, the World Economic Forum will offset all greenhouse gas emissions stemming from the Young Global Leaders Summit 2006. The Summit will produce approximately 1041 tons of CO2 equivalents, which corresponds 14 times the average emissions of an individual household per year.
The Young Global Leaders declared Climate Change as one of the key global priorities for the World in 2020. Acknowledging the urgency of the issue and the need to take action on an individual and collective basis, all participants will be given the opportunity to attend the Summit “carbon-free” by offsetting the CO2 emissions stemming from their participation at www.davosclimatealliance.org.
