Be part of the RAYS Youth Statement 2026

The preliminary recommendations developed by Planet Futures Forum (PFF) delegates are now being strengthened through the 3P (People, Place & Planet) Survey.

We invite everyone, everywhere, to take part and share their lived experiences, reflections and ideas to build a stronger RAYS Youth Statement 2026.

What is Planet Futures Forum (PFF)?

PFF is a youth-led governance process designed to help participants move beyond discussion and towards collective action.

Purpose of the forum:

• Encourage systems thinking and collaborative problem-solving.

• Strengthen networks and relationships across communities, sectors, and countries.

• Explore the relationships between environmental, social, cultural, and governance challenges.

• Produce the Preliminary RAYS Youth Statement.

• Support the development of practical and values-driven recommendations.

Our Approach

In line with RAYS 2026 theme “Youth: Many Ways, One Planet,” PFF adopts a Two-Eyed Seeing approach.

This approach brings together the strengths of Indigenous knowledge systems and Western frameworks, allowing climate challenges to be explored through multiple perspectives while working toward shared solutions for one planet.
