Our Guiding Lights - Power for a Better Future

In just a few days, eight international teams of teens from around the world will come together to understand the Paris Agreement, collaborate across borders and explore ways to transition to cleaner energy options from different perspectives. How is the world doing with the goals stated in the Paris Agreement? Is it important and why? How will we make progress? Our speakers, coaches, workshop leaders, and panelists will guide us through the challenges and opportunities of this collaborative effort. Please join us in expressing our gratitude to these thought leaders for generously sharing their expertise from all corners of the globe:
