The Youth Environmental Education Conference (YEEC) is back for its fourth edition, taking place within the 13th World Environmental Education Congress (WEEC) in Perth, Western Australia, from September 21 to 25, 2026. This global event provides an unparalleled opportunity for young people from around the world to actively engage in shaping the future of environmental education.
Who We Are
The YEEC serves as a dynamic platform dedicated to empowering youth voices in environmental education. Aligned with the mission of the WEEC, it offers young individuals the space to articulate their ideas, share their challenges, and collaborate on innovative solutions for a more sustainable future.
Through YEEC, participants have the chance to connect with experts, educators, and changemakers, engaging directly in the design and implementation of environmental education initiatives. Our goal is to bridge the gap between youth and professionals, fostering meaningful partnerships that drive real change.
Your Voice, Your Way

The YEEC invites you to share your story! Whether through a written piece, artwork, video, photography, or any other creative medium, your unique perspective matters. This is your chance to showcase the environmental issues that are most important to you and your community, inspiring others to take action.
Youth Leaders Committee – Coming Soon!
To further enhance youth participation, the World Environmental Education Congress (WEEC) is excited to announce the formation of the Youth Leaders Committee (YLC), which will play a key role in shaping the YEEC experience.
