Environmental Leadership Accelerator

Program Summary

Our Bangladesh accelerator will run from October-December, 2020 . With support from our Bangladesh Hub leader, we'll convene 9-12 emerging environmental leaders for a Launchpad Summit in Dhaka (COVID permitting) to build leadership skills and create action plans for team projects, which will be eligible for funding to help implement them. These leaders will continue in a mixed virtual / in-person accelerator program for three months, supported by 10 Billion Strong to further develop as leaders and complete community-based projects to address pressing environmental issues.
