Global Citizen believes the success of young people is the success of everyone. But classrooms cannot deliver if students are hungry, offline, or unwell. Ending extreme poverty means removing barriers to learning such as nutrition, healthcare, connectivity, reliable energy, safety, and equitable opportunity. Education is not a line item; it is a growth strategy that builds skills, jobs, and resilient communities.

This plenary also confronts the systems that shape progress. Multilateral frameworks, governance structures, and financial models are not permanent; they are choices. Reform is needed, from the very top to the grassroots, to sustain progress on education and development.

Curated by Global Citizen, the session will showcase the organisation’s unique advocacy model, demonstrating how citizen action can drive systemic reform, and how quality education delivers only when connected to healthcare, energy, and equity and how reimagining governance and finance can expand opportunity, supercharge development, and build a future that works for all.

The program blends keynotes, discussions, and performances with practical solutions and a public call to take action, so every young person has the chance not just to learn, but to lead.

Through campaigns like Protect the Amazon and Scaling Up Renewables in Africa, Global Citizen has shown how citizen action can drive bold climate solutions that also fuel economic growth. Investing in renewable energy, carbon markets, and ecosystem protection creates jobs, strengthens communities, and builds resilient economies.

Curated by Global Citizen, the closing plenary will bring together the themes of IMPACT WEEK: finance, governance, equity, and innovation into practical pathways for progress. With Singapore at the heart of global finance, and Asia-Pacific leadership shaping the future of clean energy and carbon markets, the region will help chart the course toward sustainable growth.

Featuring world leaders, civil society voices, private-sector innovators, and young changemakers, the program will blend keynotes, debate, performance, and storytelling to showcasing bold partnerships and near-term commitments that prove climate action is not only essential for survival but also essential for shared prosperity.

The question isn’t whether these 5 days will matter in 50 years—it’s whether you’ll be part of writing that story.

The finale of IMPACT WEEK arrives not with applause, but with action. Multiple transformative initiatives will be unveiled, each aligned with the week’s vision of how sustained collaboration can shape the coming decades. From educational academies pioneering uniquely Asian approaches to sustainability to investment platforms that prioritise regeneration, from research reshaping global capital flows to coalition frameworks transcending traditional boundaries, these launches demonstrate the power of convergent timing—when programmes bridging inspiration with real world transformation emerge alongside critical conversations about systemic change.

Here, 5 days of alignment influence 50 years of transformation through concrete participation pathways, partnership structures, and institutional commitments that extend the week’s collaborative energy into lasting

As the post-war world order fragments and financial systems strain under the weight of climate shocks, inequality, and demographic disruption, global leadership stands at a crossroad. From Washington to Beijing, the very foundations of how we govern, grow, and allocate capital are being recontested. In Asia—where China’s ascendancy, Singapore’s stewardship, and ASEAN’s emergence converge—a new centre of gravity is forming, with profound implications for the future of global finance, diplomacy, and civilisation itself.

This high-level fireside chat gathers leaders in governance, monetary policy, and regenerative economics to confront failing systems and explore bold alternatives. From Singapore’s unique position between East and West, the conversation reimagines capital in service of life, questions whether governance can move beyond zero-sum geopolitics, and challenges leadership to be defined by purpose, not profit. This is not about reform—it is about reconstructing how we lead, govern, and prosper in a multipolar, interdependent world.

Capital flows determine which futures get built. Through this collaboration with IMPACT WEEK, the Phenix Capital Group is challenging Asia-Pacific’s institutional investors to move beyond the question of returns to ask: What world are we investing into existence?

Under the theme “Beyond Returns: Investing for People, Planet & Financial Returns,” this summit embodies IMPACT WEEK 2025’s call to reshape finance from extractive to regenerative. Pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and family offices will explore how the Well-being Economy framework can guide allocation decisions that serve life, not just portfolios.

This is where IMPACT WEEK’s vision meets institutional power—demonstrating that finance can regenerate ecosystems, empower communities, and deliver long-term societal value. Because the most radical act in finance today isn’t optimising returns. It’s optimising for regeneration.

In the face of escalating crises, we must return to the question of why impact exists in the first place. FBN Asia through this inaugural Impact Forum event brings IMPACT WEEK 2025’s Well-being pillar to life, challenging global family business leaders to root every decision in the flourishing of life.

Through candid conversations and real-life examples, families will explore how to evolve from wealth preservation to regenerative stewardship—moving beyond individual accumulation to collective care. Interactive partnerships and co-investment opportunities demonstrate how multi-generational thinking can transform business models that serve significance, not just success.

At IMPACT WEEK 2025, well-being is not an outcome, but the organising principle of systems. This forum showcases how family enterprises, with their natural capacity for long-term thinking and values-driven decision making, can become the foundation upon which all other pillars of the Well-being Economy stand.

Food is a lever for systemic change, touching health, climate, and community. With collaboration Grow Asia Investment Forum with IMPACT WEEK we are bringing the urgency of food systems transformation directly into IMPACT WEEK 2025, asking: How do we move from industrial agriculture to regenerative abundance?

Celebrating Grow Asia’s 10th Anniversary with founding partners ASEAN and the World Economic Forum, this forum showcases investment-ready solutions that embody IMPACT WEEK’s vision of systems that nourish rather than extract. Delegates will engage with blended finance models for regenerative agriculture, digital innovations that empower smallholder farmers, and gender-inclusive value chains that rebuild rural prosperity.

This isn’t just about funding better farming—it’s about co-creating investment pathways that transform food from commodity to catalyst for shared well-being. At IMPACT WEEK 2025, we don’t just talk about regenerative systems. We architect them, together.
