50 outstanding young professionals were selected through a competitive application process to participate in a “Landscapes Leadership“ workshop ahead of the 2015 Global Landscapes Forum to work on solutions to 5 landscape challenges.
They had to pitch these 5 solutions during the Forum to a group of esteemed panelists for live feedback (modelled off the British TV series “Dragon’s Den”).
The dragons den took place on Sunday, 6 December
