Are you 18-30 years old with a passion for business and climate action?

The Next Generation scholarship allows seven aspiring climate leaders to attend the 2026 Climate Change & Business Conference: Building Momentum. Driving Change.

You can choose your location, either the main conference in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland or the Satellite Hub in Ōtautahi Christchurch.

This is your chance to hear from Aotearoa New Zealand’s climate leaders, engage in critical conversations and gain insights that will help shape your impact in the business world. The conference will dive into the ‘how’ of climate action, and showcase successful examples from Aotearoa New Zealand and abroad.
