INSPIRING FUTURE LEADERS

About Future Leaders Climate Summit

The Future Leaders Climate Summit aims to gather the most diverse group of the next generation of climate leaders for three days to discuss climate policy, communications, advocacy, and individual action with climate and energy experts. The Future Leaders work with these experts and each other to develop ideas and recommendations for wicked problems facing their communities today, from mitigating climate change, to adapting to extreme weather impacts, to preparing for a rapidly changing world that likely will include more political unrest, forced migration, and security issues. During the Summit, Future Leaders develop local action plans and make pledges to go back to their communities and engage with local elected officials, educate their community, and provoke action.

 

The Summit aims to inspire these individuals that will be shaping and driving our response to the climate crisis by:

​

  1. giving them the tools to create even greater change in their local communities and  

  2. creating a robust network of climate leaders who will be able to work together in facing the greatest crisis of our time - the climate crisis.
