The Colorado Youth Climate Summit is a two-day, overnight, in-person event for youth in grades 8-11 to learn about local impacts of climate change and engage in surfacing solutions. At the Summit, students will develop a climate action plan that they can use to implement climate solutions in their own communities. Young people will leave ready to accelerate change in their lives, schools, and communities, and to work toward earning the Seal of Climate Literacy.
The Summit is planned and co-led by the Youth Climate Leader Team--a small group of youth and adult advisers. This energetic dedicated group meets together a before the Summit to build community and give input on the Climate Summit. They continue to meet virtually every 2 weeks after the Summit to enhance their leadership abilities, participate in climate action mini-workshops, and assist in planning the 2027 Youth Climate Summit.11/13/2026, 11/14/2026
