Thank you to everyone who helped make the EECOM 2023 Conference a success!

February 15-17, 2023

The EECOM 2023 Conference took place online.

The theme of the EECOM Conference in 2023 was “Taking action through environmental learning and youth leadership”. As we slowly emerge from a global pandemic, the need for collective and collaborative solutions to the complex systems that have contributed to social inequalities, racial disparities, and the effects of climate change is more apparent than ever before. The headlines filling our daily news feeds highlight the urgency to address a myriad of environmental and social issues and transition to a truly equitable green economy that will ensure our collective futures. This prompts us to think deeply about how we can equip, support and empower a generation of youth to enter careers in a variety of sectors that support the planet and contribute to systemic change.
