Young people in Tāmaki Makaurau are vulnerable to Climate Change and are the ones who too often go unheard. This event run by Generation Zero is for the voices of our youth to echo through Tāmaki Makaurau, inspiring a collective commitment to environmental responsibility.
The Youth Climate Summit seeks to empower the future guardians of Aotearoa with knowledge, inspiration, and actionable strategies for shaping a sustainable future. Generation Zero hosts “a whānau-friendly day” through interactive workshops, keynote speakers, and activities for all, culminating in a policy development simulation responding to a mock climate crisis.
Our young tamariki will also get to learn and play! The summit will allow children to express their unique perspectives, encouraging creativity and fostering a sense of environmental connection.
Join in an interactive day to learn, debate, play, and be inspired.
This event is part of EcoFest, an annual month-long festival taking place Friday 15 March – Sunday 14 April 2024. Inspiring climate action across Tāmaki Makaurau, it is hosted in collaboration by EcoMatters, Kaipātiki Project, Beautification Trust and Waiheke Resources Trust, and proudly supported by Auckland Council.
