Empowering the Next Generation to Lead the Planet’s Future
The world’s environmental challenges are urgent — but so is the potential of our youth. IGeneration Green 2026 is a global initiative empowering elementary through high school students to design, prototype, and lead real-world sustainability solutions in their schools and communities.
The journey starts now where All Roads Lead to Rotary Environmental Experience x EarthX 2026 in Dallas, Texas — April 19–22 — where Independence Gardens will anchor one of the largest youth climate action summits in the world - inspiring, educating, and mobilizing the next generation of climate leaders. Over four days, students will showcase innovations, exchange ideas, and connect with changemakers across sectors to accelerate climate solutions.
Our model is simple but powerful:
Youth-led innovation – Students imagine, design, and present original solutions to real environmental challenges.
Mentor-powered learning – Industry experts, educators, and community leaders coach students from concept to execution.
Action with measurable impact – Projects are built, tested, and showcased locally and globally, creating tangible environmental benefits.
Through virtual leadership programming beginning in early 2025, youth from across the globe will develop innovative, sustainable projects addressing real-world environmental challenges. Starting April 1, these projects will be showcased online, inviting global audiences to vote for their favorites.
The journey culminates at the Youth Climate Action Summit Weekend during EarthX Week, where we will debut six immersive, hands-on activations — three under our flagship Girls Save The World program and three under IGeneration Green (all genders) — blending STEAM, creativity, and leadership to tackle climate change, food security, waste reduction, and clean energy innovation.
By uniting virtual engagement with an in-person global stage, this initiative ensures that youth voices are not just heard but amplified — driving action, inspiring change, and shaping a sustainable future.
By April 2026, we aim to engage over 10,000 students worldwide, train 250+ volunteer mentors, and launch 500+ youth prototypes that contribute to a cleaner, greener planet.
IGeneration Green 2026 is more than an education program — it’s a movement to put climate leadership in the hands of those who will inherit the future. Together with partners, we will give youth the tools, training, and global stage to reimagine what’s possible.
