It's been an action-packed day at the Climate Summit. Students dove into topics relating to the #climatecrisis - migration, gender, oceans, energy - and designed solutions based on the perspectives of proximate stakeholders. Thank you to @UlsterBOCES and @Vassar college!

Looking forward to moderating a panel of @Vassar college professors today with @UlsterBOCES! We cannot solve the #climatecrisis without the leadership of young people. Giving them an opportunity to express their ideas and lead change will be key to making real progress.
