Climate Leaders Network

The Climate Leaders Network (CLN), powered by GEAPP, IFC, USAID and DFAT, aims to elevate women's leadership and their impact towards Vietnam's transition to a sustainable and green economy

The Climate Leaders Network (CLN) jointly launched by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP), the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) acts as a platform to empower women leaders across Vietnam’s key economic sectors to actively participate in climate initiatives. Targeting senior-level executives, CLN cultivates a community that is not only influential but also capable of driving significant environmental changes within their respective domains.

To help businesses and organizations connect with the next generation of talent in the green and sustainability sectors, we are hosting a Career Fair.
