Sustainability has become a defining challenge of our generation. What does “sustainability leadership” mean to you and why is it so important today? How do you see young people’s role in driving the next phase of sustainable development, especially in Asia and Singapore? At SMU, you’ve been actively involved in mentoring and research. What are some ways the university is helping students turn ideas about sustainability into real-world action? SMU’s partnership with Ho Bee Land has been central to advancing this mission. How did this collaboration begin, and what makes it unique compared to other corporate–academic partnerships? Can you share an example of a project, insight or initiative that emerged from the collaboration between Ho Bee Land and SMU that you’re particularly proud of? What inspired the new Sustainability Case Challenge, and how does it help nurture the next generation of green innovators? How concerned are you about artificial intelligence (AI) blocking the path for young people to get into sustainability? What qualities or mindsets do you think young sustainability leaders need to develop to make a real difference in business and policy? What gives you hope about the next generation of sustainability leaders and what message would you like them to take away from your work? For readers who are inspired to grow as sustainability leaders themselves, what would you encourage them to do and how can they get involved in the conversations happening at SMU?
