American Climate Leadership Summit in DC

The 9th Annual American Climate Leadership Summit (ACLS 2020) will be held on March 25-26, 2020 in Washington DC at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center. The Summit theme is Ambition • Restoration • Justice to amplify and accelerate ambition on climate solutions, and build political will and demand for climate action in the 2020 election and beyond. Here is the report from ACLS19 featuring hosts, partners, speakers, sessions, and attendees. 

ACLS 2020 will draw hundreds of national, local, and rising leaders from within and beyond the climate movement. New for 2020 is a focus on youth, and Gina McCarthy hosting the American Climate Leadership Awards, offering over $150,000 to winning leaders and organizations. 

They have decided to open up 10 student scholarships for a few select colleges and universities to bring emerging leaders to the Summit so they can learn and make connections to empower their futures. The scholarship includes full attendance for both days, including attendance at the Awards Gala dinner. Student Scholars would commit to attendance and up to 3 hours of support work at the Summit which could include things like registration, table scribes, or speaker and attendee logistics.
