Are you aged between 18 and 23? Do you care passionately about the global climate crisis? Do you have an insatiable taste for adventure? If you can answer yes to all three of those questions, then you need to know about the Future Leaders search.

In 1989, veteran polar explorer and conservationist Robert Swan became the first man to walk to both the North and South Poles. He has since founded 2041, an organisation dedicated to the promotion of renewable energy sources as the best hope for halting the chronic environmental crisis in Antarctica. And now, hes hosting our Web TV show, in which he will explain the nature of the crisis and tell you how you could become part of the solution as a member of the team he will lead on a mission to Antarctica next year.

Nowhere else on Earth is the effect of climate change more visible than in the beautiful and fragile eco-system of Antarctica. Robert was last there in 2008, equipped by npower with a wind turbine and solar panels provided. In doing so he became the first person ever to live solely on renewable energy sources in the harshest environment on the planet. It demonstrated beyond doubt that if it could be done there, it could be done anywhere.

The Future Leaders mission needs driven young green warriors who are willing to brave the Antarctic with Robert and share their experiences upon their return, thus influencing the perceptions of their peers and accelerating the shift towards the use of renewable energy resources. Whatever walk of life you hail from, you could be among the final few who will be given this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Log on to find out how.

Polar explorer and conservationist Robert Swan OBE joins us live online to discuss the environmental crisis in Antarctica and the Future Leaders search.
