Climate Generation (c3)
2025 Programs
Climate Generation’s Policy Program is built around youth-identified actions and community issues to ensure marginalized perspectives are centered in the climate justice policy space. To do this, Climate Generation works exclusively in coalition and invests time and energy into interdisciplinary narrative building, breaking down generational silos, and supporting climate justice initiatives disproportionately affecting low-income, majority BIPOC, or traditionally underserved communities. Climate Generation's Youth also host Minnesota's annual Youth Climate Justice Summit at the state capitol.
Mission
Climate Generation ignites and sustains the ability of educators, youth, and communities to act on systems perpetuating the climate crisis. Our vision is a just and abundant world beyond the climate crisis.
