This isn’t another lecture or traditional panel — this is an engagement-based gathering rooted in culture, ceremony, and conversation-led by Indigenous youth leaders from across the country to share teachings, stories, and solutions for protecting our land, water, and future.

Attendees will be invited to:

Experience cultural grounding through ceremonial opening, story, and traditional knowledge-sharing;

Learn directly from Indigenous youth leaders about their work and advocacy; 

Explore ancestral teachings and ecological knowledge as pathways to protecting the sacred; 

Engage in collective calls to action and discover how you can elevate Indigenous voices through collaborative efforts. 

Indigenous youth have inherited the impacts of the climate crisis, but they are also carrying forward ancestral responsibility to protect the land, water, and communities. This gathering celebrates their leadership, amplifies their voices, and invites you to stand in solidarity with their vision for a just and sustainable future.

Be part of an evening filled with culture, connection, and climate justice — where we honor the past, empower the present, and build the future together.

Hearing a lot about AI and data center expansion? That it's happening quickly, behind closed doors, putting huge demands on strained energy grids, leading to rising utility costs, reversing climate progress, and draining water from communities? 

​Maybe you're also questioning the future we're all being locked into via this AI-fueled infrastructure expansion? Yeah, us too.

​At Climate Week, we’re bringing together the voices that are fighting on the frontlines of the AI data center boom: for their communities, their water, their air, and all our futures.
