Youth Interfaith Summit 2026

The largest annual interfaith youth gathering returns.

The 2026 Youth Interfaith Summit, hosted in partnership by the Faith and Belief Forum and the London School of Economics Faith Centre, will bring the global climate conversation home to London.

Climate change is not just a scientific or political issue; it is a question of morality and faith. This year’s summit centres faith narratives, practices, and institutions. We will discuss why the climate conversation so often gets stuck and how we can create local, achievable change through tapping into the power of faith communities.

London will be our living classroom. The summit will bring together hundreds young people from across faiths and beliefs to explore where faith communities drive climate action, where tensions arise, and what power young people actually have right now.

Through storytelling, panels, workshops, and a guided walking tour, participants will recognise faith not just as a source of inspiration, but as practice, structure, and power.

You’ll leave with sharper questions, grounded tools, and concrete local actions rooted in faith and place.

This event is suitable for young people aged 14+.
