We are excited to bring you the Scottish Youth Climate Summit 2021, open to 11 to 25 year olds.

At this event, you will meet a range of climate experts and activists and will work with other young people to create Scotland’s Youth Climate Declaration. This declaration will highlight the most pressing issues for children and young people and will set out their demands to the Scottish Government and international decision-makers attending COP26 in Glasgow.

Topics of discussion will include:

  • Children's rights
  • Youth engagement in decision-making
  • Education & jobs
  • Just transition
  • Biodiversity
  • Energy & renewables
  • Travel
  • Food
  • Rural & islands

You will also have the chance to learn about leading climate action projects led by young people and learn about topics such as energy security, green careers, and climate activism.
