Founder Aquayemi-Claude G. Akinsanya Selected as Delegate for the 2025 World Bank Group Youth Summit in Washington, DC

We are proud to share exciting news from the leadership at Garnetts Clothing Brand & Range (GCBR) and The Claudes SEN Law Campaign (TCSL):

Our Founder and Global Campaign Leader, Aquayemi-Claude Garnett Akinsanya, has been officially selected as a delegate for the 2025 World Bank Group Youth Summit, set to take place on May 19–20, 2025, at the World Bank Headquarters in Washington, DC.

This year’s theme, “New Horizons: Youth-Led Innovation for a Livable Planet,” powerfully aligns with the values we champion across both platforms—justice, sustainability, and transformational leadership grounded in faith, vision, and generational impact.

The 2025 Summit will focus on three core areas of transformation:

Digital Transformation & Data for Development

Climate Action & Resilience

Empowering Change through Creative Industries

With over 1.8 billion young people worldwide (UNFPA, 2023), this platform is crucial in ensuring youth voices shape the sustainable, inclusive future we all deserve. Since its inception in 2013, the WBG Youth Summit has evolved into a globally respected space for bold ideas and global cooperation.

Aquayemi-Claude’s appointment as a delegate reflects not only his commitment to global development, but also his courageous stand as a faith-driven changemaker. In his application to the Steering Committee, he introduced a unique and bold concept: that sustainability, innovation, and justice must be anchored not only in data, design, and dialogue—but in eternity.

“We’re not just here to build systems. We’re here to win souls. We’re here to manifest God’s wisdom, power, and wealth—not just for impact on Earth, but for eternal purpose. This is how real change begins.”
– Aquayemi-Claude Garnett Akinsanya

Through his leadership at GCBR and TCSL, Aquayemi-Claude has consistently advocated for youth empowerment, climate justice, education reform, disability rights, and Christian innovation on both national and international platforms—from COP summits and United Nations campaigns to grassroots advocacy across the UK.

His selection reinforces GCBR and TCSL’s commitment to driving faith-rooted innovation and championing equity, sustainability, and inclusion as core pillars of transformation.

We congratulate Aquayemi-Claude and look forward to the insights, collaborations, and Kingdom-aligned strategies he will contribute to this landmark global event.

Join us in prayer, support, and celebration as we prepare for #WBGYouthSummit2025.

With purpose,
The GCBR & TCSL Campaign Team
