中国新生代领袖群体正以独特的“全球教育-本土根基-使命驱动”三维特质，重新定义可持续发展时代的领导力范式。他们既深谙东方智慧，又精通西方创新，正在科技、社会企业与文化领域塑造着全新的中国图景。本环节聚焦正塑造中国科技、社会企业与文化版图的青年企业家、创作者与变革者。他们回到中国，带来的不仅是技能与资本，更是关于身份认同、协作模式以及商业社会价值的新叙事。我们将共同探讨：这代人如何搭建文明互鉴之桥，重构系统韧性，并诠释中国对全球未来的独特贡献。

China’s next generation of leaders are educated globally, rooted locally, and driven by purpose. Fluent in both Eastern heritage and Western innovation, they are redefining what leadership looks like in an era of sustainability, authenticity, and cross-cultural integration. This session spotlights young entrepreneurs, creators, and changemakers who are shaping China’s tech, social enterprise, and cultural landscapes. Their return to China brings not just skills and capital, but fresh narratives around identity, collaboration, and the role of business in societal transformation. It’s an invitation to imagine how this generation can bridge worlds, regenerate systems, and help define China’s contribution to the global future.

中国的绿色转型不是停留在理论层面——它体现在将荒漠变为森林、以可再生能源驱动城市、以及将 ESG深度融入国家战略的工业布局之中。从库布齐沙漠的生态修复，到乡村振兴战略，再到创新的绿色 金融工具，中国正在重新定义可持续发展在大规模背景下的样貌。本环节将探讨推动中国环境转型的政策、技术与投资机制，并思考这些模式如何在其他地区加以借鉴。它邀请与会者思考的不仅是这些成就本身，还包括促成其实现的底层体系与文化动力。

China’s green transition is not theoretical—it is visible in deserts turned into forests, cities powered by renewables, and industrial strategies where ESG is embedded into the national agenda. From the Kubuqi Desert reforestation to rural revitalisation (乡村振兴) and innovative green finance instruments, China is redefining what sustainable development looks like at scale. This session examines the policies, technologies, and investment mechanisms driving China’s environmental transformation—and asks how these models can be adapted to other regions. It invites participants to consider not just the achievements, but the underlying systems and cultural drivers that made them possible.

如果世界上最大、增长最快的经济体，同时也是全球最重要的影响力投资者之一，会怎样？中国的发展历程——植根于对福祉、生态文明和制度创新的追求——为世人提供了一个生动的案例，展示了以使命为导向的治理与协同投资如何在全国范围内实现转型。从让数亿人口脱贫，到建设庞大的基础设施网络、提升医疗水平、拓展教育资源，中国的成就挑战了人们对可能性的既有认知。凭借规模、速度与系统性协调，中国完成了许多看似无法实现的目标。如今，新的篇章正在展开：反思哪些经验具有普遍意义、哪些具有其特定语境，以及如何以负责任的方式与世界分享。本论坛诚邀中国领军者与创新者以开放姿态参与国际对话——不设防、不倨傲，秉持谦逊之心与服务之诚，分享洞见，为构建更具再生力与包容性的全球未来贡献中国智慧。

What if the world’s largest and fastest-growing economy is also one of its greatest impact investors? China’s development story—rooted in the pursuit of well-being, ecological civilisation, and institutional innovation—offers a living case study in how purpose-led governance and coordinated investment can transform a nation at scale. From lifting millions out of poverty to building vast infrastructure networks, advancing healthcare, and expanding education, its achievements challenge assumptions about what is possible. With its scale, speed, and systemic coordination, China has accomplished what few thought achievable. Now comes the next chapter: reflecting on which lessons are universal, which are context-specific, and how they can be responsibly shared with the world. This panel invites Chinese leaders and innovators to engage internationally—not defensively, but with confidence, humility, and a commitment to service—offering insights that can inform a more regenerative and inclusive global future.

中国的崛起不仅是经济上的成功，更是一段承载文明意蕴的历程，为全球寻找新型发展模式提供了启示。植根于仁义、和谐与以人为本的治国方针，中国使数亿人口摆脱贫困，建设了规模空前的城市与产业，并将长远思维融入国家复兴的进程中。本次主旨演讲将邀请与会嘉宾探讨并分享推动这一转型的深层力量——不仅包括政策与项目，还涵盖其背后的精神、价值与体系。这些共同构建了一条面向人类与地球的整体性、包容性、可再生的繁荣之路。

China’s rise is more than an economic success—it is a civilisational journey with lessons for a world seeking new models of progress. China’s development draws from a wealth of civilisational treasures that serve as both its cultural foundation and intellectual resources. Guided by principles of benevolence, harmony, and a people-first approach, the nation has lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty, built cities and industries at an unprecedented scale, and woven long-term vision into its path of modernisation and national renewal. This keynote invites delegates to explore and share not just the policies and projects, but the spirit, values, and systems behind this transformation—offering an alternative pathway to prosperity that is holistic, inclusive, and regenerative for both people and planet.

As the world faces accelerating disruption—from AI to ecological instability—traditional leadership models are no longer enough. This immersive session invites leaders to move beyond performance and adaptation, towards regeneration and wholeness.

Blending Regenerative Systems Thinking with Quantum Leadership, the session explores how today’s complex challenges require not just smarter strategies, but deeper inner clarity, relational awareness, and systemic coherence. Co-facilitated by practitioners from multiple disciplines, including neuroscience, coaching, economics, and somatics, the session offers a collective space for experimentation and renewal.

Participants will experience live demonstrations of regenerative coaching and consciousness-based leadership, engaging in dialogue and reflection to explore how transformation begins within. This is not a theoretical masterclass. It’s a living lab for leaders ready to realign their inner compass, rewire outdated assumptions, and take bold, regenerative action—within their organisations and beyond.

In an age of ecological collapse and social fragmentation, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But while no one can do everything, everyone can do something. Change doesn’t begin with certainty—it starts with the courage to collaborate across differences.

In this interactive workshop, policy entrepreneur and Global Citizen co-founder Michael Sheldrick will draw on case studies from grassroots period poverty activists in South Africa, Prime Minister Mia Mottley, the Caribbean, to coal towns in Western Australia reinventing themselves as clean energy hubs, we will explore how lasting policy change is created—not by purity, but by pragmatic idealism.

With over 15 years of experience mobilising $40 billion for frontline solutions, Michael introduces the tools of policy entrepreneurship: identifying levers of influence, building coalitions with unlikely allies, and turning bold ideas into real outcomes.

Designed for those working in climate, education, philanthropy, and community development, the session includes practical exercises to map alliances, tackle system blockers, and practise effective strategy. Participants will receive a copy of “From Ideas to Impact”—a toolkit to navigate uncertainty and sustain momentum in high-friction environments.

Impact Lab 3 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

Realizing the full potential of climate innovation demands more than technology—it demands transformation. While groundbreaking climate solutions are emerging across Asia and the world, many remain disconnected from the systems they aim to change. Start-ups face fragmented support, short-term expectations, and limited pathways to scale—especially when their impact defies conventional ROI metrics.

This session convenes a new generation of climate entrepreneurs, investors, and ecosystem architects to reimagine what it takes to move from breakthrough idea to real-world transformation. We’ll spotlight founders who are regenerating ecosystems, healing communities, and reframing growth as service to life—not just shareholder value. Together, we’ll ask: how do we fund, scale, and support innovation that doesn’t just solve for carbon, but redefines value itself?

This is not a pitch competition. It’s a call to redesign the very systems that support climate innovation—from capital and community to narrative and policy.

Impact Lab 3 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)

In a world defined by accelerating complexity, no single solution, leader, or institution can solve the challenges we face. What’s needed is a shift—not just in tools or policies, but in how we see, relate, and act within systems.

This interactive workshop—led by Climate-KIC, Europe’s leading climate innovation agency—invites participants into a hands-on journey of systems thinking in action. You’ll learn frameworks that help you navigate uncertainty, uncover leverage points, and build personal and organisational resilience. Through real-world application, collaborative reflection, and practical exercises, you’ll gain the tools to envision and catalyse transformative change in your own sphere of influence. Because systems change doesn’t begin out there—it begins with how we show up within the systems we are part of.
