The National Youth Climate Activism Award celebrates young people who are taking meaningful action on climate change in their communities across Canada.

We continue to be inspired as alumni carry their climate efforts forward — pursuing studies, launching initiatives, advocating for change, and inspiring other youth to take action. Many alumni also serve on the Youth Climate Cabinet, which adjudicates the award each year.

On this page you can hear directly from past recipients through short video updates and longer interviews, as they share what they’re working on now and how their climate journeys continue to evolve.
