The fight against climate change is currently already being led by young people around the world, bravely taking to the streets and holding their governments and even their parents and grandparents accountable. The Green Summit provides a forum in which these brilliant young minds from across the globe can come together and coordinate their action, expand their network, and enhance their skills in being climate action leaders, to work collaboratively toward a better tomorrow.
If you are a young person that is passionate about climate action but are not exactly sure how you can contribute, attending the Green Summit will equip you with a set of skills, inspiration, and connections with likeminded people so that you come out with a clearer vision, determination, and practical toolbox to lead the change.
