Youth Climate Leadership Act of 2024
The Youth Climate Leadership Act of 2024 establishes Youth Advisory Councils within five federal agencies (EPA, Interior, Energy, Agriculture, and Commerce). Each council must include 15-25 members aged 16-29 from diverse backgrounds, with at least 50% representing disadvantaged communities identified by the Justice40 Initiative. Councils will provide annual recommendations to agencies on environmental programs, climate impacts affecting youth, and environmental justice, while receiving $250,000 annually per agency for implementation. The bill directly affects youth from disadvantaged communities by requiring their meaningful participation in federal environmental decision-making processes.
