Executive Summary
Delivering a transition to a low carbon, resource efficient Green Economy cannot occur without the creativity, vision, actions and support of a broad cross section of society - this rapid harmonization of perspectives from so many agencies reflects their determination to be agents of change towards a sustainable 21st century, Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary-General and UNEP Executive Director
The most visible signs of changes are the mounting series of environmental and social crises brought about by industrialization that are happening within our very eyes. While economic and global industrial growth has brought extraordinary improvements in all walk of lives, at the same time it has destroyed just as much and threatening future sustainability and the global system out of balance. The tipping point arises as the mounting costs brought about by the benefit of industrialization, are increasing at an alarming rate and to some extent offsetting the benefit itself. The rising threat of global warming, water shortage, increasing levels of waste, toxicity and poverty are just some of the concrete problems that we humans have to endure and sadly face because of our neglect and ignorance towards the way we live our lives and the way we do business.
In a study commissioned by the U.S Government, the U.S petroleum industry recently reported that world oil and gas supplies will be unable to keep up with rising global demand over the next 25 years which could lead to rising prices, shortages and social instability in both producer and consumer economies [1]. Our vital dependence on non-renewable resources such as oil and gas as well as our diminishing resources and growing waste underlie a host of related economic problems that all but ensure that without significant change, these problems will worsen. On a global scale, the interdependence of nations and regions in doing business globally has created problems such as waste, toxicity, pollution and economic inequality never seen before on such magnitude. On a national scale as the fastest growing economy in South East Asia, Indonesia mirrored by its buoyant economic growth of 4.4% in the first quarter of 2009[2] is posed to follow in the footsteps of China and India as one of the leading world economy. However, in line with the rising economic growth, hazardous waste production is projected to grow in tandem with the rapid industrialization of Indonesias economy. Total waste volumes are projected to grow from 200,000 tons to 1,000,000 tons between 1990 and 2010. [3]

LEAD Programmes
Founded in 1991, LEADs main objective is to train emerging leaders from different sectors, cultures and nationalities around the world to play an active role in making sustainable development a reality. LEAD does this through its 12 national and regional Member Programmes, coordinated by LEAD International in London. LEAD has alumni of more than 2,400 Fellows who have been through the training programme. LEAD also runs short courses and provides training services to both public and private sector organisations. In order to maximise its impact on sustainable development, LEAD works with its Fellows to deliver projects and programmes in four key areas: Climate Change Business and Sustainability Poverty alleviation and Environment Sustainable Cities LEAD believes that sustainable development is achievable if the new generation of leaders from business, government, NGOs, academia and the media across the world can be motivated, equipped and linked to make it happen. This is our mission. LEAD Fellows Training Programme. Through our LEAD Fellows Training Programme, we train talented individuals in leadership skills and sustainable development, empowering them to become change agents. The training takes place at a combination of national, regional and international events, helping participants to build a better understanding of sustainable development challenges at local and global level. LEAD training events at all levels provide continuing development opportunities to professionals from a variety of areas through exposure to new ideas, perspectives and emerging issues within the fields of sustainable development and leadership.
I would recommend anyone who is serious about sustainable development to do this course...The training is dynamic and issuesfocused, and membership of the network provides access to some of the most active and knowledgeable professionals in the world.

Participants Profile. Each class, or Cohort, of LEAD Associates that embarks on the training programme is composed of individuals with proven leadership potential, an interest in sustainable development and a strong drive to acquire knowledge, share perspectives and develop new skills to take action for a more sustainable future. A cross sectoral approach is a trademark of all LEAD training, with participants coming from various sectors in society including business, government, NGOs, academia and media. After completing their training participants become LEAD Fellows and thus join an influential, global Network of peers.
LEAD offers excellent and comprehensive programmes on economic sustainability, which not only broaden our horizon but also networking. We are in no doubt to carry out change of agent tasks for a better life (Dahlia Darmayanti, Fellow Cohort 16, LEAD Indonesia, Full time lecturer Binus University International)
LEAD Programmes
The LEAD Network. The LEAD Network is a unique group of leaders from different sectors, cultures and countries. During their LEAD training, they not only enhance their leadership skills, understanding of sustainable development and ability to make a difference they also make professional and personal bonds with each other that last for life. The network is made of influential members and leaders including businessmen, government ministers, journalists, charity directors and scientists. LEAD provides a forum for Fellows to continue to share information and ideas at local and global level, long after their training is finished. In turn, this can lead to projects and activities where Fellows continue to collaborate and help each other achieve change for the better. Impact on sustainable development. LEADs goal is to maximize the impact of its Fellows Network in promoting sustainable development. LEAD works with its Fellows and other partner organisations in four key programmatic areas. Here are examples of activities within those four areas: Climate Change. LEAD is building the adaptation capacity of local leaders in communities affected by climate change in three African countries. LEAD is building a network of Climate Leaders inspired and equipped to take action on climate change. Business and Sustainability. LEAD is working with companies to provide their future leaders with a better understanding of sustainability and its relevance to the business. LEAD also provides advice for companies on their sustainability strategies and future scenarios. Poverty and Environment. Under a framework agreement with the UNEP UNDP Poverty and Environment Initiative, LEAD provides leadership and skills training to PEI champions. The aim of the programme is to help these champions be more effective in their task of ensuring environment is adequately integrated into poverty reduction strategies. Sustainable Cities. LEAD Fellows from different continents have collaborated to produce a report on megacities and climate change, with recommendations on priority measures needed to tackle the climate challenge.
The LEAD Associate Training was truly a mind opener to understand the holistic picture on Sustainable Development in all aspects of socio-economic and environment. Beyond that we also sharpen our leadership as well as networking skill, whilst understanding context of diversity in culture and background. More importantly, we are challenged to create synergy across disciplineon concrete sustainable solutions of todays and future potential problems. Y ou LEAD that change ! (Sinta Kaniawati, Fellow Cohort 15, LEAD Indonesia, General Manager - Unilever Indonesia Foundation) LEAD Associate Training (LAT) gave me not only new perspective of doing business but also the experience to work with other participant from different area. It is very beneficial to have sustainable knowledge and skills for the future leaders in any kinds of profession (Handyanto Widjojo, Fellow Cohort 16, LEAD Indonesia, Lecturer - Prasetiya Mulya Business School)
LEAD Indonesia
Since 1992, Yayasan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan (the Foundation for Sustainable Development, or YPB), a not-for-profit organization, has carried out the vision promoted by LEAD International in initiating changes for a deeper understanding and more active participation in sustainable development. The programme, conducted jointly with many countries and coordinated by LEAD International, established a capacity building programme through the training of mid-career professionals for leadership in sustainable development. Leadership for sustainable development is the capacity to view development in a comprehensive and holistic framework to ensure that development is economically viable, socially equitable and environmentally sustainable. In 2011 there are 210 LEAD Indonesia Fellows from all over sectors where a number of them have shown their contribution to sustainable development in Indonesia such as Yuyun Ismawati who won Goldman Environmental Prize in 2009 for her work in waste management, and Tri Mumpuni who has been promoting micro hydro power plant development for remote villages to have renewable electricity and became one of WWF Heroes in Climate Change by 2005, as well as one of People Who Make Changes by Tempo Magazine in 2007, and Magsaysay Award 2011.
Starting in 2004, LEAD Indonesia, a programme of YPB has expanded its undertakings to go beyond the LEAD Associate Training, which has always been the thrust of its existence. This new undertaking is concerned with developing partnerships with other institutions to carry out various programmes in response to national and local needs. The strategic programme of YPB includes: LEADing by Sharing (capacity building), LEADing by Knowledge (research), and LEADing by Strategic Partnership (action). LEADing by Sharing is the core, programme while other strategic programmes are supporting YPB main activities. LEADing by Sharing consists of 4 main programmes: LEAD Associate Training; capacity building on sustainable development to all sectors Developing Sustainable Business: develop sustainable business strategy to private sector Leadership for Integrated Development: develop public policy for sustainable development to government and legislative agencies Bridging Leadership Programme for young leaders in the rural areas (community leaders) and in the urban areas (students at senior high school and universities). LEADing by Knowledge produce more than 30 public policy case study related to sustainable development, and minimum of 3 annual case study to support capacity building activities. In the future, research findings will be formulated in policy recommendation paper for the government officials.
LEADing by Strategic Partnership is more on the support for sustainable development scheme in practice where YPB takes a part of activities in a joint project management, or to facilitate workshop among multi stakeholders toward comprehensive and integrated policy and action plan. Climate Smart Leaders (CSL) is one of the progressive programme under LEADing by Strategic Partnership
