Scarcity refers to a situation where there is a shortage of resources compared to the needs of people. In this essay competition, we invite young leaders from all over the world to focus on a specific contemporary or future challenge related to scarcity and propose an innovative solution.
Be creative in your thinking and consider whether we should strive for more resources or find ways to thrive with less. You can choose any scarce resource to focus on, such as human labor, capital, natural resources, or intangibles like time, creativity, or care.
Describe the challenge of scarcity in a bold and precise manner, and offer a concrete and actionable idea on how to confront it. Think outside the box and come up with innovative solutions that can make a real difference.
Join us in this competition and be a part of shaping a better future!
