T‑2 Days Until CCM 2026! (Friday @ 9 PM EDT): Who’s Ready?! ⚡🌍

Howdy and welcome to our 2026 Climate Change‑Makers!

We’re almost there… less than 2 days until the start of our weekend-long ideathon/hackathon, and the excitement on our end is very real.

Our teams at One4Earth and the Youth Impact Challenge have been working hard behind the scenes to bring this weekend to life. Now, we’re thrilled to share the workshop schedule, packed with workshops, mentorship, networking, prizes, and a genuine opportunity to build the next big climate innovation. We’ve also spaced out sessions to make them accessible across time zones because this is a global effort, and every voice matters.

Similar to previous years, we have created a Slack server where you can ask questions to the organizer team, connect with other participants, and even access our Participant Resources Folder. The link to the Slack can be found here and absolutely feel free to introduce yourself in the intros channel upon joining!

Opening Ceremony: 🕘 9 PM EDT 🕐 1 AM GMT 🕕 6:30 PM IST (Zoom link being sent via calendar invite, please make sure to RSVP! The link can also be found here (password is ccm 2026 ) and will be shared in our Slack channel as well.

The opening ceremony will walk you through the challenge, expectations, requirements, and our 2026 themes. You’ll also hear from 4 incredible guest speakers, they’re some of the most inspiring young leaders you’ll meet!

And yes, attending the opening and workshops earns your team bonus points, so it’s absolutely worth showing up. If you can’t make it live, just message us afterward for the recording.

More details are coming soon about team formation, mentorship, and everything else you’ll need for the weekend. We can’t wait to meet you and see the ideas you bring to life!!

Warm regards,

Jessica & the CCM Team
