September 24 – September 27, 2026 | Frankfurt, Germany

Each year, young leaders gather at our Youth Summit to collaborate, learn, and take action. The climate crisis is accelerating — and youth voices matter more than ever.

This year, we come together under the theme “Stronger Together: Climate, Community, and Democracy”, focusing on how inclusive networks, democratic participation, and strong communities are essential for achieving climate justice.

We're inviting Plant-for-the-Planet Climate Justice Ambassadors and youth activists aged 16–28 from around the world to take part and register.
