The inaugural Future Leaders’ Climate Summit will gather 100 young and diverse leaders from around the US for three days to discuss climate policy, communications, advocacy, and individual action with climate and energy experts. The Future Leaders will work with these experts 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. The Future Leaders will form work pods to 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.
This summit has been designed in the hopes that it will create and foster collaborative, innovative, and creative conversations among a wide variety of thinkers and leaders. Our collective success depends on a robust exchange of ideas – an exchange that will be fueled by a rich diversity of perspectives, experiences, backgrounds, and opinions. To create this exchange, we are looking for diverse candidates, each who hold their own unique solutions to the complex climate crisis of our time. We encourage and celebrate your authenticity and hope that you will consider applying and contributing your ideas to the first Future Leaders Climate Summit.
