2024 Boston Youth Climate Summit
ABOUT
On Friday, October 18 and Saturday, October 19, 2024, the Museum of Science, Boston and the New England Aquarium are co-hosting a Youth Climate Summit, convening 100 high-schoolers for 1.5 days of behind-the-scenes climate science programming and action across multiple engaging session formats.
This event is modeled after the Youth Climate Summit started by The Wild Center, a science museum in upstate New York. The Wild Center’s Youth Climate Program works globally to convene and empower young people to implement climate action plans in their schools and communities through Youth Climate Summits. Our event will join a network of over 60 sites around the world that have hosted a Youth Climate Summit inspired by this model.
