2015 is here and with it comes the third series of the International Sustainability Conference. An annual event held by youth run non-profit the Global Green Alliance, the event is a mix of entrepreneurial challenges and sustainability workshops aimed to equip the next generation of leaders to solve our time's most pressing global challenges.
