Carole Stone Foundation Scholarship 2019

We are delighted to announce that longstanding One Young World Counsellor, Carole Stone CBE, will again sponsor a young leader to participate in the One Young World Summit – this year in London – through The Carole Stone Foundation. Carole believes that connecting people, exchanging ideas and building friendships around the world is essential to help make a fairer society. This year’s iteration of the Carole Stone Foundation Scholarship seeks to support a young leader who is making an impact for SDG15: Life on Land. Human life depends on the earth as much as the ocean for our sustenance and livelihoods. Plant life provides 80 percent of the human diet, and we rely on agriculture as an important economic resource. Forests cover 30 percent of the Earth’s surface, provide vital habitats for millions of species, and important sources for clean air and water, as well as being crucial for combating climate change. If you are taking action to reduce the loss of natural habitats and biodiversity this the Scholarship is for you.
