About the LEAD Europe Programme

Using leadership and climate change as a lens to explore sustainable development issues, the LEAD Fellows’ programme is one of the most dynamic engaging, and innovative leadership and sustainability programmes in Europe.

LEAD will take you on a learning journey that will allow you to see for yourself how government, business and communities are tackling climate change challenges and opportunities both locally and globally.

Your challenge is to explore and uncover the leadership gaps and to consider how you can become a more effective advocate for change, wherever you live and work.


Programme Aims

  • To explore leadership and sustainability challenges and opportunities in Europe and the wider world
  • To create a network of leaders for sustainability in Europe who can act together to address urgent global sustainability challenges
  • To foster understanding and collaboration across all sectors including government, business, the media and not-for-profit organisations.

Learning Outcomes

  • Understanding of the complexity of global leadership and sustainability challenges and opportunities
  • Demonstrable sustainable leadership competencies for inspiring individual and organisational change
  • Ability to harness the skills and knowledge of culturally diverse teams to create innovative and contextually relevant solutions
  • Confidence to engage and network with people from different sectors, cultures and levels

It has probably been just one of those life changing moments..."
