One day. Six continents. One shared challenge.
Dates announced soon
The YPL Digital Summit brings Young Planet Leaders together in a single live, online gathering. Mixed teams tackle a youth chosen environmental challenge in a focused, hackathon style session, and walk out with new collaborators across the world.
- 01
Cross continent teams
Young leaders from the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia work side by side in mixed teams across time zones.
- 02
Hackathon style challenges
Real prompts grounded in environmental work, scoped so a team can actually ship something in a single session.
- 03
Youth designed
Format, prompts, judging and incentives are shaped by our Youth Advisory Board, then opened to the wider community.
- 04
Recognition and routes forward
Standout teams get spotlighted across YPL channels and connected to mentors, partners and funding routes.
Returning YPLs can apply to support teams on the day as official Ambassadors.
