At the Re.Generation Future Leaders Campus (#REGEN2025), learning took place not in lectures, but in conversations — with individuals who have played central roles in shaping global conversations on sustainability, leadership, and long-term impact. Organized for the 2025 cohort of emerging leaders, the program’s core structure included a series of masterclasses designed to connect participants directly with practitioners across public, private, and civil society sectors.
The sessions focused on pressing global themes and were structured to go beyond traditional formats. Participants were given the chance to engage in open discussion, receive informal advice, and form connections intended to endure beyond the program itself.
Among the speakers was Frédéric Dufour, CEO of Maison Ruinart, who addressed the theme of sustainability in the luxury sector, examining how tradition and innovation can be used to drive environmental responsibility in premium industries. Paul Polman, business leader, campaigner, and co-author of Net Positive, led a session on the role of the private sector in social and environmental change, advocating for a redefinition of business as a force for good.
Jill Tiefenthaler, CEO of the National Geographic Society, focused on storytelling, exploration, and education as tools to safeguard the natural world and support a thriving planet. Former Norwegian State Secretary for Petroleum and Energy, Ingvil Smines Tybring-Gjedde, addressed the global energy transition, highlighting the complexity of navigating such a shift at the policy and systemic level.
