Empowering the next generation of climate leaders

The YEAH Network connects students and faculty across institutions of higher education to tackle climate change and the Sustainable Development Goals, in the classroom, in the field, and at the UN climate negotiations.

YEAH at COP30, and on to COP31!

YEAH students and faculty joined COP30 in Belém, Brazil, the first UN climate conference held in the Amazon. They organized dialogues with IPCC authors and a conversation with the U.S. Congressional delegation. Read about our COP30 engagement, and stay tuned as the network prepares for COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye (November 2026).

Climate Leaders Academy

The Climate Leaders Academy (CLA) brings together graduate students from across the YEAH network for interdisciplinary climate training and professional development. Each cohort kicks off with an in-person workshop alongside scientists and policymakers, learns the UNFCCC process, and engages directly at the annual UN climate conference.
