Kate Robertson, the co-founder of One Young World, has established
herself as a driving force in cultivating the next generation of global
leaders. Since launching the organization in 2009 alongside David Jones,
Robertson has created a platform that connects and empowers young leaders from
across the globe to create positive change in their communities.
One Young World,
often described as a young version of the World Economic Forum, hosts an annual
summit that brings together talented young people from over 190 countries. Kate Robertson’s vision has transformed these summits into powerful catalysts for
social impact, addressing crucial issues such as climate change, education
inequality, and human rights violations.
Drawing from her
extensive experience in the corporate world, including her role as Global
President at Havas Worldwide, Robertson recognized the untapped potential of
young leaders in solving global challenges. Under her guidance, One Young World has developed a network of more than 12,000 ambassadors,
whose initiatives have positively impacted over 30 million people worldwide.
The organization’s
success can be attributed to Robertson’s emphasis on practical action over mere
discussion. Delegates at One Young World summits are encouraged to develop
concrete solutions to global problems, with many receiving funding and support
to implement their projects in their home countries. Notable alumni of the
program include global influencers and change-makers who have gone on to lead
significant social impact initiatives. The organization has also garnered
support from prominent counsellors, including Nobel Peace Prize laureates,
global business leaders, and heads of state.
Robertson’s
commitment to youth empowerment has earned her numerous accolades, including
recognition for her contribution to sustainable development and social
entrepreneurship. Her work continues to demonstrate that young leaders, when
given the right platform and support, can be powerful agents of positive
change. As global challenges become increasingly complex, Robertson’s
initiative through One Young World remains crucial in nurturing the leadership
capabilities of young people who will shape the future of our world. Follow this
