Organise a LCOY Anchor 1 Principles of LCOY There are a total of 10 Pillars of Principle, on which an LCOY is based. These ten principles guide the work of every LCOY. Anyone who follows them can organise an LCOY. 1. Capacity Building & Empowerment: Local Conferences of Youth are events by and embedded in YOUNGO. They build capacities of young people and train and educate them to take action on climate change and sustainable development. ​ 2. Transparency: LCOY organizing teams communicate actively with the LCOY Working Group and other actors. This will help us as an international movement and constituency of young people to learn from the experiences and mistakes made on the local level. ​ 3. Inclusivity: YOUNGO welcomes and values the contributions that individuals who identify as members of marginalized communities bring to the climate movement, and encourages Indigenous people, people of colour, women, people identifying as LGBTQI+, members of ethnic minorities, immigrants and people with disabilities to be involved and represented throughout the LCOY processes. People with all levels of education and experience are welcome. We recognize that this list is neither exhaustive nor representative of the intersectionality present within each individual. ​ 4. Sustainability: LCOY teams strive to make their conferences as sustainable as possible, noting the regional and national circumstances, and capacities. ​ 5. By Youth For Youth: The organising process must be led by young people and youth-led Entities. Youth are the primary participants of LCOYs. ​ 6. Community building: LCOY organizers engage in and strengthen already-existing networks of young people and youth entities in the country and region the LCOY takes place in. In the absence of such avenues, LCOYs are encouraged to lay foundations for new networks. ​ 7. Preparation for UN processes: LCOYs provide space for young people to learn about, educate, train for, and contribute to UN climate processes, including the UN climate change negotiations and related sustainable development processes. ​ 8. Global Action: LCOY teams are encouraged to undertake activities or projects with other LCOYs promoting regional and global collaboration. ​ 9. Spirit of Cooperation: LCOYs are part of and nurture a community of young people who want to work together to fight climate change and promote mutual empowerment. To do so, LCOYs actively cooperate with​ young people and youth organisations within the same c ountry or region, other LCOYs (especially those in the same region), the YOUNGO LCOY Working Group, the Global COY and other relevant processes and avenues within YOUNGO. ​ 10. Creativity: LCOY teams are encouraged to experiment with creative ideas that would form the basis of their learning. The best practices and lessons learned are shared with the broader YOUNGO community to help other youth for future projects. ​ Requirements of LCOY No to Polluters! LCOYs do not enter in partnerships with fossil fuel companies or other orgs that stand in conflict with the interest of young people. By Youth, for Youth LCOYs must be organized by young people and for young people. Elders can observe & provide knowledge assistance if required. Transparency LCOYs must remain transparent about their work by making information openly available to the LCOY WG, other LCOYs and the general public.

These requirements are to be fulfilled by ​every prospective LCOY team who submits an application to the YOUNGO LCOY Working Group. Letter of Endorsement If your application becomes successfully passed with all requirements fulfilled, then the organising LCOY team will get an approval letter or Letter of Endorsement by E-mail, and from then, their LCOY will be officially endorsed by YOUNGO & its LCOY Working Group. ​ Without a Letter of Endorsement, you can not organise a conference under the name of LCOY. ​ In case you have any questions, you can reach us at team@lcoy.earth 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.
