COY16 Live

UN Climate Change Conference of Youth-Live

The UN Climate Change Conference of Youth (COY) is an event under the banner of YOUNGO – The Official Youth Constituency of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The conference takes place right before the annual UN Climate Change Conference, also known as Conference of the Parties (COP), in the same host country as the COP. COY serves as a space for capacity building and policy training, in order to prepare young people for their participation at COP. In 2021, COY will be in its 16th year and is dubbed as the largest and longest running youth event to date; gathering thousands of young changemakers from more than 140 countries. It is likewise hailed as the most significant youth gathering for it’s capacity to directly forward the official youth position in the UN Climate Negotiations. 

COY16 stands proud to be the official precursor event of the United Nations Climate Change Conference, also known as COP, and is officially endorsed by the United Nations Secretary General Envoy on Youth.

COY stands with four major components of policy documentation, capacity building, skill building workshop and cultural exchange. 

This year, COY will be held at Glasgow from 28th to 31st October, 2021 and the session will be livestreamed on a virtual platform.
