Every year YOUNGO together with local youth organizations organizes the Conference of Youth (COY) on the weekend before the annual year-end UN Climate Change Conference. The COY brings together young people from around the world, passionate about addressing climate change and promoting sustainabilit About COY Pic Credit: LCOY HK What is COY What is COY The UN Climate Change Conference of Youth (COY) is an annual event under the banner of YOUNGO – The Official Youth Constituency of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). COY, the largest and longest running youth event to date, takes place right before, and on the sideline of, the annual UN Climate Change Conference, also known as Conference of the Parties (COP). Where COY serves as a space for capacity building and policy training, in order to prepare young people for their participation at COP, empower them, and formally bring their voices to the UNFCCC processes to shape the intergovernmental climate change policies. COY18 Official logo How LCOY Started How LCOY Started From the very beginning, youth have been actively engaged at the Conferences of Parties (COP) which are organised by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). In 2005, they formally gathered in Montreal ahead of COP11 to make their voices heard, thus creating the first Conference of Youth (COY). In 2009 during COP15, the UNFCCC secretariat and the member states to the Convention officially recognised youth as an observer constituency of its own (confirming the status in 2011), to represent the formal voice of Children and Youth in UNFCCC processes. The constituency is known as YOUNGO. Pic: COY14 The Conference of Youth (COY) is an official event of YOUNGO. COY continues to involve children and youths from different sectors of society and areas of the world, with number growing steadily over the years. It is organised by the youth for the youth. Moreover, in 2015, the idea of COY started spreading around the world. Young people recognized the value of COYs, and got inspired to organise Local COYs (LCOYs). In 2017, a formal process has been set up within YOUNGO to endorse and empower youths as well as youth organisations to organise Regional and Local COYs. More information about the LCOY process can be found in the Organise Section. Scopes of Different COYs Scopes of Different COYs Global COY Global COY is an annual gathering of young people from all over the world, who are passionate about climate change and environmental topics. It is organised by the youth for the youth. The Global COY take place once every year right before the annual UN Climate Change Conference, also known as the Conference of Parties (COP), at the same location organised by local youth in collaboration with YOUNGO. It aims to bring together the global youth to compile national and regional inputs into positions of global youth to be fed into the climate negotiations. Discover More @COY18UAE Regional COY Regional COYs are organised (ideally) before or during GCOY in different parts of the world offering youth new opportunities for training and capacity building. Regional COYs aim to bring together youth from many different countries within one of the 7 world regions (North America, Latin America and Caribbean, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia and Oceania). RCOYs feed directly to Global COY. They focus on climate related topics which have high regional importance, discuss and develop respective outputs and feed them into the Global COY and consequently into the climate negotiations. Know More About RCOY Local COYs Local COYs resemble regional COYs in many aspects. They, too, should ideally take place before or during the Global COY. They also serve the purpose to train youth and to build their capacities for climate action. The point in which the conferences differ is the scope. Local COYs aim to bring together youth from one country. At LCOYs, youth participate as part of national and regional movements. They focus on climate related topics which have high national importance, discuss and develop respective outputs, which are fed into the Global COY and consequently into the climate negotiations.
