Anyone can plan a Youth Climate Summit, and there's lots of help out there.

The Youth Climate Summit toolkit, originally created by The Wild Center, has been used by over 200 organizations around the world. There have been more than 500 Youth Climate Summits held!

Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Garden's CAL Fellow, Anisah, says:

"I think that for our youth summit showing how people could use renewable energy was a great way to showcase how others can get into being sustainable and a lot of people really liked it."

Bring your peers together to play their way to climate solutions.

There are a growing number of climate-focused games such as Daybreak, Climate Connect and now CRACT! from the Critical Action Lab. It's a slightly silly but surprisingly useful card game about critical thinking and creative action. Game Nights are a great way to have more playful, creative discussions about difficult topics.

The Wild Center's CAL Fellow, Anthony, says:

"Planning the game night required us to think about how to appeal to non climate-conscious teens and think of ways to get them involved."

From fashion and art fairs to waste-food baking and jam making

There are hundreds of different ways to mobilize the community and enjoy time together thinking about creative climate solutions.

NHMU CAL Fellow, Sky, says:

"It was so cool taking over the museum foyer!"

Phipps CAL Fellow, Lucy, says:

"Don't be scared...you might get some really awesome change-making stuff out of it."
