“Young people are not just the leaders of tomorrow, they are the drivers of positive climate solutions today. The Right Here, Right Now Global Youth Climate Summit elevates youth voices at a moment when their leadership is absolutely essential to advancing collective climate initiatives that protect the planet and benefit generations to come.”
