Deloitte Scholarship 2025
Deadline: April 16, 2025
In a world facing complex global challenges, innovative solutions driven by technology are essential for building a sustainable and equitable future. Among the most urgent issues are the climate crisis and the protection of natural ecosystems.
Emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), offer immense potential to advance climate solutions. From optimizing energy efficiency and implementing smart monitoring systems to developing predictive climate models and enabling data-driven decision-making, these innovations can significantly contribute to environmental progress.
However, it is vital to consider the environmental impact of these technologies. With AI projected to substantially increase energy consumption and resource demands, leading to higher greenhouse gas emissions, responsible and sustainable implementation is essential to maximize positive outcomes while minimizing harm to the planet.
The future of our planet depends on preparing the next generation with the skills needed to tackle emerging challenges. The transition to a green and digital economy requires significant investment in both environmental and technological skills to help individuals and societies thrive in a rapidly changing world.
Despite this need, millions of people still lack access to quality education and the skills necessary for success. By embracing innovative solutions, we can bridge these gaps, support entrepreneurial ventures, and create new opportunities for employment in a digital-driven economy.
At Deloitte, we are committed to building a sustainable future where everyone is empowered to reach their full potential. Through our strategic initiatives, **WorldClass** and **WorldClimate**, we aim to expand opportunities for 100 million people by 2030 and address climate change both within and beyond our organization. As a proud partner of **One Young World**, we are excited to present the **Deloitte Scholarships 2025**.
This scholarship will bring together eight young leaders—four focused on education and four on climate—to participate in the **One Young World Summit** in **Munich, Germany**, from **November 3-6, 2025**. The scholarship is designed for young leaders who are driving innovative solutions to either address climate change and protect natural ecosystems or transform education and skills development for the future workforce. We are looking for candidates who demonstrate a commitment to:
1. Implementing innovative approaches to combat climate change, such as: – Developing technology-driven solutions to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainability. – Ensuring responsible deployment of AI by minimizing energy and water consumption and addressing electronic waste.
