Dear Climate Friends,

I'm attending an event called Worldwide Youth Climate Summit. Please, can you come?

Join us on Saturday, February 4th, 2023 from 10 AM -1 PM New York Time for the first ever Worldwide Youth Climate Summit organized by Bard College and the Open Society University Network through the Worldwide Teach-in on Climate and Justice! During this powerful three-hour digital summit, hundreds of students and young people from around the world will convene as part of the global movement for climate justice and solutions. Attendees will build their activist networks by connecting with each other during small breakout sessions where they will hear each other’s climate stories and discuss the work that lies ahead. Participants will also be joined by climate activists who will share their stories and insights about how global youth can use their power to fight for just solutions to the climate crisis. Finally, attendees will learn about the Worldwide Teach-in on Climate and Justice and how they can activate their institution and community in the fight for climate justice. This digital summit is a rare opportunity for a truly global community of youth climate activists to meet each other, network and build collective power. We hope you can join us and register here!
