- Set up a platform for emerging leaders in the Asia-Pacific region to communicate and network amongst each other while working together to address complex practical sustainable development challenges.

The participants from Myanmar, Nang Phoo Pyi Mon and Aye Thiri Paing commented: 
”This programme was a good platform to learn more about what other countries are doing and most importantly making friendships and creating valuable network. The whole programme was productive as we had to discuss based on each presentation and asked a lot of questions and got valuable responses from different participants. We learned more about resource efficiency and how to apply not only for ourselves but also for the work places.”
