Climate Change Will Be the Focus of the 2023 Model G20 Summit: Says Knovva Academy

I In January 2023, the Knovva Academy will host the Model G20 Summit, the premier international gathering for young leaders. The theme of the 2023 summit will be Climate Change: Current and Near-Future Effects with participants debating the best ways to address climate change and its consequences.

According to a recent study, nearly 75% of Generation Z and millennials believe humanity's response to climate change has reached a tipping point.

Engaging younger generations in climate literacy now can help them take real action on the climate crisis and have a seat at the table to influence the future of the planet and billions of other species. The Model G20 Summit, according to a source close to the organising committee, is an important platform for exposing students to the world of international diplomacy and empowering them to shape their own future.

250 students from G20 member countries, international organisations, engagement groups, and invited countries will debate the world's most pressing issues and collaborate to find collaborative solutions to climate change problems.

According to a source close to the organising committee, the summit will allow students to gain a thorough understanding of relevant subjects while also improving their communication and strategic thinking skills. Students will also gain real-world skills that will help them stand out in the competitive college admissions landscape and beyond.

In response to the 2023 summit, Peter Dufresne, chief academic officer at Knovva Academy, told news reporters, "As one of the largest global youth leadership summits for high school students, Model G20 provides hundreds of student leaders with the opportunity to make international connections and discuss real economic issues." He also stated that the Knovva Academy team is looking forward to this year's summit and watching students tackle climate change with creativity and leadership.

With over 8,000 Model G20 alumni representing 500+ global schools, the 2023 Model G20 Summit is set to be one of the world's largest youth leadership summits for high school students.
