Harvard Chan C-CHANGE Youth Summit on Climate, Equity and Health
The Center for Climate, Health, and the Global Environment at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (Harvard Chan C-CHANGE) has joined forces with Putney Pre-College, an initiative of Putney Student Travel, hosted another year of youth summer programming on climate, equity, and health in July 2024.
Channeling Climate Action into Climate Solutions
July 20 — July 27, 2024 | Location: Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Boston, MA
Students dove into issues of climate change, equity, and public health alongside peers, educators, and leading professionals from the Center for Climate, Health, and the Global Environment at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (Harvard Chan C-CHANGE). They chose an Action Focus based on their interests and explored how climate change is intertwined with public health, medicine, social justice, equity, economics, and policy. They gained perspective from scientists, health practitioners, policymakers, youth activists, climate creatives, and clean energy innovators at the forefront of tackling the climate crisis. Each student took what they learned and transformed it into a Community Action Plan, returning home ready to address these issues in their own community.
The annual Harvard Chan C-CHANGE Youth Summit trains students to be leaders in their communities through workshops, field-based activities, and meetings with scientists, health and policy experts, academics, energy innovators, and more.
The Youth Summits combine Putney’s extensive history of designing educational and innovative student programs with Harvard Chan C-CHANGE’s leadership putting health and equity at the center of climate actions.
The Harvard Chan C-CHANGE summit presented an opportunity to connect with youth from across not just the US but the globe. Our summit occurred in parallel to the hottest temperatures ever recorded on earth, fires and floods battering every corner of the planet, and continual inaction from politicians and the fossil fuel industry. We did not let this stop us, paralyze us, rather we took it as an opportunity to generate community and optimism—the energy that will fuel our movement.
