About this episode
The episode discusses the Rainforest Youth Summit 2026 and its focus on meaningful climate engagement for young people.
What does meaningful climate engagement actually look like for young people today? Beyond headlines and social media, how do we create spaces for real conversations, collaboration, and action? Those are some of the questions at the heart of the Rainforest Youth Summit , which returns this year in Sarawak with a programme focused on sustainability, culture, innovation, and youth leadership. We learn more about the summit’s journey so far, what attendees can look forward to this year, and why these conversations matter now more than ever from Dr. Sharzede Datu Haji Salleh Askor, the CEO of the Sarawak Tourism Board, and Marina Abdullah, the Summit Director of the Rainforest Youth Summit.
