We are inviting young people between 15 to 30 years to join us for this youth summit in London, in the context of COP30.
The Climate and Sustainability Youth Summit will take place to coincide with COP30 in Brazil. Join us and share your views!
At the United Nations Association for Climate and Oceans, it is our aim not only to raise awareness about climate and ecological issues, but also to push our ideas of solutions to changemakers that can make the difference. We are collaborating with the Leverhulme Centre for Wildfires, Environment and Society (co-hosts of the event, led by Imperial), and Grantham Institute for Climate Change – world leaders for climate research, wildfires, documentation and climate solutions.
At this summit, you’ll have the opportunity to engage in thought-provoking discussions, participate in interactive workshops, and connect with like-minded individuals who share your passion for climate action and sustainability. From inspiring keynote speakers to impactful panel discussions, this event promises to ignite your enthusiasm and empower you to make a real difference.
Whether you’re already involved in environmental initiatives or just starting your journey, this summit welcomes individuals of all backgrounds and experience levels.
Confirmed keynotes include:
- Dr Iruthisham Adam – High Commissioner of the Maldives in London
- Prof Guillermo Rein – Imperial College London
- Dr Axel Laval – Engineering and Sustainability Manager – The Crown Estate
- Minister Counsellor for Energy – Royal Danish Embassy in London
- Commonwealth Secretariat – London

The summit, aimed primarily at 18-30 year olds, is hosted by the United Nations Association Climate & Oceans and the Leverhulme Centre for Wildfires, Environment and Society.
This is a free event, which means we overbook to allow for no-shows and avoid empty seats. While we generally do not have to turn people away, this does mean we cannot guarantee all ticket holders a place. Admission is on a first come, first served basis.
Although the event is aimed at primarily at youth aged 15-30, it is an intergenerational event and all are welcome, regardless of age!
