A full-day conference designed to educate MCPS students about climate change and equip them with the tools to create climate action projects in their communities.

Saturday, March 5th, 2022

Location: Universities at Shady Grove (9630 Gudelsky Dr, Rockville, MD 20850)

At the MCPS Youth Climate Summit, high school students will learn about climate change on a personal level through plenary speakers and workshops that demonstrate actionable ways to engage in the climate movement. The Summit concludes with participants being mentored through the process of writing a climate action plan, a project outline they can implement in their school or community.

At the MCPS Youth Climate Summit, students can:

  • Hear the latest research-based, climate change science information, and learn the economic and ecological consequences of climate change
  • Learn strategies to respond & adapt to climate change in Montgomery County and in the process save their schools and communities money
  • Develop a Climate Action Plan to bring back to their school and community
  • Benefit through increased knowledge and development of leadership skills
  • Network with schools across Montgomery County to learn about successful climate action
  • Creative minds are encouraged!
