RAYS 2025 brought together youth, Indigenous knowledge holders, scientists, activists, and creatives to explore how environmental care, cultural continuity, and youth leadership shape our shared future.
Our first summit gathered young people from across ASEAN to learn from one another, connect with community leaders, and begin shaping what RAYS would become.
youth, Indigenous leaders, researchers, policymakers, and community organisations
are a part of the growing RAYS network.
We respectfully acknowledge that this summit takes place on the ancestral lands of the Indigenous peoples of Sarawak, including the Iban, Bidayuh, Orang Ulu, and Malay communities. We honour their enduring connection to this land, their cultures, and their traditions, and recognise their continued contributions to the richness of Sarawak's heritage.
