What impact will One Young World have?
One Young World simply aims to give the leaders of tomorrow a global platform to be heard today. The entire Summit will be live-streamed to the internet, and various segments will be carried on the websites of BBC Worldwide and CNN.

Draft resolutions are being created by Oxford University and will be distributed internationally to global institutions such as the UN, The World Economic Forum, TED, etc. One Young World should become a unified voice of the next generation for every sector, almost like a 'Youth Kyoto' or a 'Young UN'.
