The Global Summit (TGS) aims to be the catalyst for year-round collaboration of citizens, businesses and organizations working together to co-create a sustainable future. Applying advances in communications to allow new voices to be heard, The Global Summit brings together grass-roots change makers to co-create hands-on solutions, catalyze local action, share what works best and disseminate sustainable technologies. The Global Summit is a 100% for-impact initiative, with all proceeds supporting locally-led, sustainable development programs and education.

The Global Summit “Synergy Fund” further incentivises global participation in ‘7 Stages to Sustainability’. Registrants of The Global Summit and online students of ‘7 Stages to Sustainability’ trainings will be eligible for Synergy Grants. By advancing a common language for collaboration, the Synergy Fund reduces duplication and increases collective impact.
