Get to know the committee’s important work.

• We’ve created a “Youth Climate Resource Guide” which is online and updated for students, teachers, and parents. It’s an annotated compendium of climate camps, summits, groups to join, climate news and podcasts, movies and documentaries, climate fiction and nonfiction, climate music and art,  eco-travel, and more. Click here to view the guide.

• We’ve conducted Youth Climate Focus Groups throughout the State to inform us how youth and their families are impacted by climate change, how they feel - angry, worried, hopeful - how they’ve take action, and what we adults can do to help.

• We’re working on a targeted communications campaign using a variety of media.

• We’re involved in advocacy efforts for statewide K-12 climate change education, transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy, holding major polluters accountable for damage they’ve done, and more.

• We’re actively collaborating with other Public Health organizations and organizations beyond the Public Health arena.

• In 2023, we were honored to receive the Excellence in Climate Leadership Award from the American Public Health Association (APHA) Center for Climate, Health, and Equity for our efforts and accomplishments!

We meet the third Friday of every month from 12:00-1:00 via Zoom. No expertise in climate, advocacy, or communications is needed. Join by emailing Susan Harris, Committee Chair at sharri6g@gmail.com
