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!
