Over 1,500 young leaders from more than 190 countries will gather in the capital, making it the most international gathering other than the Olympics to ever take place in the UK.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Since launching in 2009, One Young World has built a network of over 9,000 Ambassadors \u2013 young leaders whose work projects have impacted 17.5 million people worldwide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">London will also welcome high-profile leaders who work with the young Ambassadors and Delegates, sharing their experiences of making a positive social impact. In previous years this group of Counsellors has included Nobel Peace laureates, heads of state, campaigners and activists including Kofi Annan, Sir Bob Geldof, Professor Muhammad Yunus, Mary Robinson, Justin Trudeau, Emma Watson and Meghan Markle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">London is home to more than 600 One Young World Ambassadors whose work and projects range from fighting social injustice, tackling extreme terrorism, or holding the world\u2019s biggest lesson on mental health.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The award-winning forum inspires young leaders to drive change, take action and tackle today\u2019s most pressing issues. In 2017 alone, 2.9 million people were impacted as a result of the work undertaken by Ambassadors and, for every $1 invested, the One Young World community delivered a social return of $13.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The 2019 Summit will be delivered with the support of the London Advisory Board, which is chaired by Nick Giles and whose members include Cobra Beer founder Lord Karan Bilimoria, Grant Thornton UK CEO Sacha Romanovitch, Channel 4\u2019s Chief Marketing and Communications Officer Dan Brooke, and AO.com founder John Roberts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The bid to host One Young World in London was led by London &amp; Partners, the Great Britain Campaign and One Young World Ambassadors Will Dickson and Ozzie Clarke-Binns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Kate Robertson, Co-Founder, One Young World said: <\/b>\u201cWe live in a turbulent time and an era where politicians, CEOs and powerful figures, need to sit up and listen to young leaders to ensure that the positive change they demand actually happens.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cDavid Jones and I launched One Young World to ensure that, increasingly, young leaders have a seat at the table and in One Young World they have a platform that strengthens their mandate to succeed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cBringing One Young World home to London marks a great moment for the organisation and we are excited to get the young leaders of the city involved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Prime Minister Theresa May said: <\/b>\u201cToday, I am delighted to announce that next year the tenth Summit will be coming home to the UK.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cIn its homecoming year, I am proud to wish the One Young World Summit 2019 \u2013\u00a0and everyone who will take part in it \u2013\u00a0every success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: <\/b>\u201cToday\u2019s young people are the leaders of tomorrow \u2013 so I am delighted that London has been selected as host city for next year\u2019s One Young\u00a0World\u00a0global summit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cOur\u00a0great city has always been at the\u00a0forefront of innovative thinking and developing new ideas, so I am sure London will provide\u00a0the perfect\u00a0backdrop\u00a0for\u00a0discussing how to tackle some of the most critical global issues such as climate change, human rights, gender equality and conflict resolution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cIt is also a further sign that London is Open \u2013 not only for hosting important global events \u2013 but for welcoming talented people from around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Conrad Bird, Director, GREAT Britain Campaign said:<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThrough HM Government\u2019s GREAT Britain Campaign we are delighted to support One Young World.
