Those are some of the questions at the heart of the Rainforest Youth Summit, which returns this year in Sarawak with a programme focused on sustainability, culture, innovation, and youth leadership. We learn more about the summit’s journey so far, what attendees can look forward to this year, and why these conversations matter now more than ever from Dr. Sharzede Datu Haji Salleh Askor, the CEO of the Sarawak Tourism Board, and Marina Abdullah, the Summit Director of the Rainforest Youth Summit.

Earth Matters engages with activists and experts to explore our changing relationship with the planet that we only borrow from our children.
