2026 Climate Un-Conference!
Co Lab’s first ever Climate Unconference was a complete success!
Through discussions, educational presentations and networking sessions, teens led an awesome 4 hour hybrid “unconference” amplifying teen solutions to climate change and education, hunger, health, and overconsumption, growing the #ChangeOurClimate movement and giving teens a platform to work with adult stakeholders to identify new approaches to Climate and SDG intersectionalities.
This event was made possible with a grant from the
Community Foundation for Northern Virginia.

Each year the Global Co Lab Network sends a teen delegation to the United Nations High-Level Political Forum, where they sit in on sessions, meet with changemakers from around the globe, and present at side events. At this year’s side event, the Co Lab’s teen delegation to the 2026 United Nations HLPF shared about their work to engage teens globally to move action forward on the SDGs. Check it out below!

The United Nations High-Level Political Forum is an amazing opportunity for our teens to speak on topics related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the work they are doing.
