Through this summit, Sarawak positions itself as a convening hub for youth-led climate leadership in the region. In this space, ASEAN\u2019s diverse voices converge, where collaboration is nurtured, and where shared responsibility is strengthened.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2026 programme brings together keynote dialogues, youth-led labs, and policy-focused sessions that centre lived experience, regional perspectives, and practical pathways to action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Delegates will also take part in curated offsite excursions showcasing Sarawak\u2019s protected rainforest sites and vibrant urban culture. The summit journey culminates with delegates attending the opening day of the Rainforest World Music Festival 2026, offering a cultural lens into how community, heritage, and conservation intersect within Sarawak\u2019s responsible tourism model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RAYS 2026 is anchored by the theme \u201cYouth: Many Ways, One Planet\u201d, reflecting the belief that while young people bring diverse perspectives, disciplines, and experiences, they share a collective responsibility \u2014 and opportunity \u2014 to shape sustainable futures. This theme guides the summit\u2019s direction and reinforces its focus on inclusive, cross-cultural climate leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New for RAYS 2026 is the Planet Futures Forum, a collaborative climate simulation designed to immerse youth in the realities of how climate decisions are made. Through scenario-based negotiation and systems thinking, participants will step into the roles, constraints, and trade-offs that shape real-world climate governance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Planet Futures Forum aims to build youth capacity in design thinking, negotiation, and collective decision-making, while producing a negotiated RAYS Youth Declaration that reflects the complexities of balancing environmental, social, and economic priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outcomes from the Planet Futures Forum will extend beyond the summit through the RAYS Fellowship Programme, a new 12-month leadership journey focused on collective climate governance and action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fellowship will bring together 10 to 15 young leaders ready to engage in real decision-making and shared governance. Rooted in the principle of \u201cMany Ways, One Planet,\u201d the programme creates space for diverse youth voices to co-design solutions, learn from indigenous and local knowledge holders, and contribute to governance proposals emerging from RAYS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the course of a year, fellows will co-design governance structures grounded in community legitimacy, practise shared decision-making in real organisational or community contexts, strengthen their ability to lead across differences, and translate summit dialogue into applied action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fellowship begins at RAYS 2026 and continues through guided monthly online learning sessions, applied governance work, and collaborative cohort engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further details on the Planet Futures Forum and the RAYS Fellowship Programme will be announced in due course. Interested participants are encouraged to follow updates via the official RAYS website and social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Registration for RAYS 2026 is now open, with Early Bird passes available for purchase until 15 March 2026 via the official RAYS website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ticket Snapshot<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Early Bird Pass<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MYR200: 15 March 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 General Pass<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MYR350: First-time delegates<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Alumni Pass<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MYR250: Returning delegates<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Group Pass<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MYR250 per person \u2014 minimum 10 participants<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Schools, universities, and youth organisations)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Kuching Group Pass<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kuching-based institutions or organisations interested in sending a group delegation of 20+ pax, should contact: <a href=\"mailto:register@rainforestyouthsummit.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">register@rainforestyouthsummit.com<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>(Source: Your Stories \u2014 STB)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KUCHING, 27 February 2026: After two years of uniting 1,700 participants, featuring more than 50 speakers, and engaging representatives from over 80 organisations across 37 countries, the Rainforest Youth Summit (RAYS) returns in 2026 from 24 to 26 June 2026 for its third edition.
