Y-Talk: Youth Dialogue for Climate Action

Organized by the Young Climate Action Network (YOUCAN)

Y-Talk is a flagship dialogue series powered by YOUCAN, designed to elevate youth voices in the climate discourse through bold, inclusive, and action-driven conversations. With the theme “Youth Dialogue for Climate Action,” Y-Talk serves as a catalytic platform where young changemakers come together to critically engage, co-create, and advocate for solutions to the climate crisis—rooted in justice, equity, and intergenerational collaboration.
