Are you passionate about the future of Aotearoa and want to make a difference on climate change?
The Climate Challenge Conference is a celebration of Aotearoa's diverse young leaders, innovators and change-makers who are steeping up to face the greatest challenge of our generation - climate change. Since 2016 The Climate Challenge has been running conferences for high school aged youth. These are spaces for young people to share ideas, develop skills, build connections and co-create solutions on climate justice to take back to their communities.
