Voices That Lead: Youth, Climate & Community

Join the Global Council for Science and the Environment (GCSE) during Climate Week NYC for an inspiring conversation centered on youth leadership, climate action, and the power of community. Hosted at The Worlds Borough Bookshop in Jackson Heights, Queens, a neighborhood celebrated for its cultural diversity and a bookstore rooted in the belief that stories bring people together. The event will feature young leaders alongside elected officials, sharing what it means to lead in a changing world. Through a live panel conversation, youth will reflect on their experiences, the challenges that have shaped them, and how they are using their voices, knowledge, and lived experiences to create positive change and make their voices heard.
