Host Organization

The Aspen Institute

Description

The third Future Leaders’ Climate Summit will gather around 200 young and diverse leaders from around the world for 2.5 days to discuss climate policy, communications, advocacy, and individual action and leadership. The Future Leaders will work to develop ideas and recommendations for wicked problems facing their communities today, from mitigating climate change to adapting to extreme weather impacts, to preparing for a rapidly changing world that likely will include more political unrest, forced migration, and security issues. Future leaders will also have the option to attend Aspen Ideas: Climate, where they can network, convene, and co-collaborate with some of the biggest voices in climate and have access to spaces that have historically excluded the voices of young people.
Aspen Ideas: Climate is a collaboration with the Aspen Institute, the City of Miami Beach, and a diverse group of partner institutions in and beyond South Florida designed to offer the public a chance to interact, learn, and inspire one another on ways we can collaborate, unlock technological ingenuity, and build a brighter future for generations to come.
