The natural resources sector, including energy, mining, forestry, agriculture, etc., faces a crisis unless it finds a way for Gen Zs to get involved. The LIAMforum highlights the essential role Gen Zs will undoubtedly play in the transition to a more sustainable, greener world and act to help change the perception young people have of the sector. The LIAMforum will bring into focus the importance of the natural resources sector, governments and academic institutions, to collaborate & develop effective & attractive incentives to help Gen Zs embark on purpose-driven careers to help make the world a better place.

There is a pressing need to involve the next generation in the transition to a sustainable society. Their passion & talents are urgently needed. They can, and undoubtedly will, contribute to finding brilliant solutions to the challenges we face.

The LIAMforum aims to reach out to all youth, not just those who have already shown an interest in the sector. Close the gap between the disengaged and the engaged, and focus on inspiring and empowering the next generation to get involved and take actionable, results-oriented steps to help tackle key sustainable resource development challenges facing the world.

LIAMforum23 will be held exclusively online between 3-6 October 2023.
