Event description:
The Student Climate Action Summit is a student-led initiative designed to empower young leaders to drive meaningful climate dialogue within their communities. Students today deeply understand the severity of the climate crisis and recognize the urgent need for all of us to engage in conversations that inspire creative and innovative solutions.
This Summit will showcase students' ideas and serve as a vital resource for anyone seeking to take bold action on climate change. Together, participants envision a future that centers the health and prosperity of humans and nature alike.
Started by the passion and dedication of the Fredericksburg community, this event is now co-hosted by the University of Mary Washington Office of Sustainability and the Virginia League of Conservation Voters Education Fund who seek to bring this collaborative, educational, and inspirational experience to students across the region.
