The Youth Climate Summit is a week-long festival of climate action for primary and middle schools in the UK. It aims to create a fairer, more environmentally friendly world and make promises that will help the planet. Climate change is the long-term change in the world's weather patterns that is mostly caused by human activities. "Unlike world leaders," say the summit's organizers, "young people are refusing to drop it."
Each day has a topic, which includes food and fashion, looking at how humans harm the environment and how to save the planet. Organizations are leading some online activities. For example, the Marine Conservation Society is hosting meetings on protecting sea fish. Separately, the environmental organization Greenpeace is running a workshop on how to turn worn-out clothing into something new and wearable.
During the summit, youth ambassadors can advise organizations and governments to deal with some problems. Tian Hsu, a 16-year-old ambassador, wants schools to stop paper waste. Max, another 16-year- old ambassador, wants schools to organize more trips and activities that get students outside to experience the beauty of nature. As part of the summit, hundreds of schools across the country take part in the Let's Go Zero activity, aiming to become carbon-zero(零碳的) by 2030.
Carbon-zero schools are ones that promise to stop
emitting carbon in seven areas, including where they get their food and how they use water and recycle their waste. The activity is run by Ashden, a charity working towards climate solutions. Ashden hopes that schools will be able to help each other by sharing ideas and methods. It is also calling on the government to back the promise.
