The Climate Change, Sustainability & SDGs Summit 2027 takes place in Nusa Dua, Bali, Indonesia, from 1 to 5 February 2027. It is organised by the Global Leadership Council (GLC) for climate advocates, researchers, students, policy professionals, entrepreneurs, community leaders and development practitioners. At Youth Works Hub, we went through the organiser's official event page and set out the programme, the three funding routes and every price below. This is a privately organised summit: it is not part of Erasmus+ or the European Solidarity Corps (ESC), and an application fee applies.
