Aspen Institute: Policy Impact for Emerging Climate Leaders – Training Program

The Aspen Institute is hosting a Policy Impact for Emerging Climate Leaders: Training Program starting Monday, February 24^th through Friday, February 28^th.

The climate movement can, and already has, benefited immensely from young, diverse voices pushing policymakers and companies to respond to climate threats. As the generations that will bear the brunt of climate change impacts, young people are advocating for bolder policies, including phasing out gas-powered vehicles, restricting offshore drilling, and prioritizing alternative energy sources. To succeed in driving these reforms forward, these critical young voices will need to learn how to navigate the policy world. They must develop the skills to map the policy ecosystem and craft advocacy materials that resonate with current policymakers. To support emerging climate leaders in their efforts to move climate policy, the Aspen Policy Academy is hosting a part-time, unpaid policy impact bootcamp for climate leaders between the ages of 21 and 30. This short course is accompanied by a series of events and activities aimed at deepening bonds within this community of rising leaders, in order to give them a network of peers and mentors across the country. The application window is open until December 15^th.
