The Planet Media Summit in collaboration with USC Annenberg's Center for Climate Journalism and Communication present, "The Conversations We Need: Preparing Youth for our Changing Climate."

Our changing climate not only shapes the future for children and youth but impacts their lives today. Globally, children and youth face disruptions to their learning, worsening health impacts, and insecurity due to climate-amplified disasters. This discussion will focus on our need to increase conversations about climate change to foster climate understanding in a way that inspires hope and collaboration. By uniting parents, educators, storytellers, and communicators, we can bridge divides, emphasize our shared responsibility to prepare young people for the future, and inspire action to build a brighter future.
