“It is the responsibility of everyone to make sure technology addresses our biggest challenges — access to education and healthcare, empowering people with disabilities,” he said.

Another co-chair, Colombia’s Juan David Aristizabal, co-founder of Todos por la Educación, said, “We are in a learning crisis – people are not equipped with the right skills – so one of the things I want to do is show how we have to not just change the education system, but do a revolution in the education.”

Akira Sakano, chair of Zero Waste Academy, explained how her small Japanese town is becoming waste-free.

In a moving statement, Mohammed Hassan Mohamud, a Somalian refugee who has spent the last 20 years in a Kenyan refugee camp, said: “Refugee camps are not ethical – putting people in far away people and pretending they don’t exist.
