The mission of the Climate Future Forum is to inspire youth to be active and engaged participants in the legislative process on climate policy.   This year marked the second year of bringing  together youth (ages 14-26), educators, policymakers, and supportive organizations to evaluate and discuss climate action priorities and provide tangible steps to empower youth and give them agency in policy. 

 

These events have given youth an opportunity to forge relationships with policymakers so that they can continue to work together throughout the legislative sessions at the county, state, and national levels.

​

Event Objectives:

·  Through interacting with non-profits and lawmakers, youth realize that their voice is important to setting climate policy priorities. 

·  Youth learn the knowledge and skills needed to actively participate in our democracy.

·  Youth will be empowered to continue their engagement in our democracy, on any and all subjects they care about in the future.
