The Opening Plenary will be held Tuesday, February 23 from 1:00pm to 2:30pm. The Closing Plenary is scheduled for Monday, March 22 from 1:00pm to 2:30pm.

At the Climate Summit, students and their teachers can participate in live virtual sessions to learn about actionable ways to address the climate crisis. Review the Climate Summit Session Schedule to learn more about the sessions and presenters. Session recordings will be accessible on the Sustainable Jersey for Schools website after the live event.
