The CYAS Summit brings together an inspiring lineup of speakers—youth leaders, climate activists, educators, policymakers, and cultural icons—who are shaping the future of Small Island Developing States. These voices represent the strength, diversity, and creativity of island communities around the world.
Our speakers are not only experts in their fields—they are also mentors, role models, and catalysts for youth-driven change. From grassroots organizers to UN representatives, each speaker brings a unique perspective on topics such as climate resilience, sustainable development, education, health, and youth rights.
Throughout the summit, speakers will take part in keynotes, fireside chats, interactive panels, and mentoring sessions. These conversations aim to spark dialogue, challenge assumptions, and inspire youth to take bold action in their own communities.
By sharing their journeys and insights, our speakers will empower participants to lead with confidence and collaborate across cultures and borders. At CYAS, every speaker helps strengthen the global network of young island changemakers.
