The Youth Advisory Council on Climate Change and Environmental Conservation Establishment Act of 2025 aims to create a dedicated platform for youth engagement in climate change and environmental conservation efforts within the District of Columbia. The bill establishes the Youth Climate Council, which will consist of 17 voting members, including middle school, high school, and college students, appointed by both the Mayor and the Chairman of the Council. The Council's mission includes consulting with various governmental bodies, commenting on relevant legislation, identifying climate issues affecting youth, and monitoring climate programs to ensure they meet their intended outcomes.

The legislation emphasizes the importance of youth voices in decision-making processes related to climate action, recognizing their unique perspectives and experiences. It outlines the qualifications for council members, including a demonstrated interest in climate issues and the ability to collaborate effectively. The Youth Climate Council will meet quarterly, elect its officers, and have the authority to form committees for specific topics. The Department of Energy and Environment will provide support for the Council's activities, ensuring that youth recommendations are integrated into the District's climate strategies.
