Envisioning Environmental Action: A Collective Youth Congress

Envisioning Environmental Action: A Collective Youth Congress, a one-day in-person conference, aims at critically engaging youth with environmental policies through connecting them with professionals and activists, like-minded peers, and unique perspectives. The event includes a series of presentations, workshops, and a panel session that covers environmental racism, reading policies, local activism, and the considerations made when drafting policies. Through these activities, participants will gain a critical understanding of environmental policies, learn more about urgent environmental issues, and expand their networks.
