The Experience

Where informed ideas become meaningful conversations.

The Climate Talks Championship gives students a national platform to explore an issue, form a perspective, and communicate an idea that can help audiences understand climate action in a new way.

Students learn to combine evidence, lived experience, empathy, and a clear call to action while developing their own confident and authentic speaking voice.
