About Us
The Climate Future Forum (CFF) is Hawai‘i’s only youth-led climate policy summit, where young people (ages 14–26) work directly with lawmakers, educators, and community leaders to shape real climate solutions.
Founded on the belief that youth voices belong in the halls of power, CFF empowers the next generation to lead Hawai‘i toward a more just, resilient, and sustainable future. Through hands-on workshops, working groups, and live collaboration with decision-makers, participants don’t just learn about policy — they help write it.
Our Mission
To equip young people with the tools, knowledge, and relationships to lead climate action in Hawai‘i — from the Capitol to the classroom to the community.
What We Do
-
Host an annual summit that brings youth and policymakers together to set climate priorities.
-
Support Youth Policy Leaders for each focus area who serve as a bridge between youth and lawmakers. These leaders organize their peers, submit testimony, and advocate for climate legislation throughout the legislative session.
-
Build capacity through mentorship, leadership training, and civic education.
-
Advance real change by turning youth-led ideas into tangible policy proposals and legislative action.
Who It's For
-
High school & college students
-
Youth organizers & advocates
-
Educators, nonprofits, and adult allies who support youth leadership
Why It Matters
Hawai‘i’s climate future will be shaped by the choices we make now. CFF is where youth come together to lead those choices — boldly, collaboratively, and with care for our islands and communities.
