A proposito di COY Pic Credit: LCOY HK What is COY SFONDO Fin dall'inizio, i giovani sono stati attivamente coinvolti nelle Conferenze delle Parti (COP) organizzate dalla Convenzione quadro delle Nazioni Unite sui cambiamenti climatici (UNFCCC). Nel 2005, si sono riuniti formalmente a Montreal prima della COP11 per far sentire la loro voce, creando così la prima Conference of Youth (COY). Nel 2009 durante la COP15, il segretariato dell'UNFCCC e gli stati membri della Convenzione hanno ufficialmente riconosciuto i giovani come un proprio collegio di osservatori (confermando lo status nel 2011), per rappresentare la voce formale di bambini e giovani nei processi dell'UNFCCC. Il collegio elettorale è noto come YOUNGO. COY18 Official logo 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.

COY continua a coinvolgere bambini e giovani di diversi settori della società e aree del mondo, con un numero in costante crescita nel corso degli anni. È organizzato dai giovani per i giovani. Inoltre, nel 2015, l'idea di COY ha iniziato a diffondersi in tutto il mondo. I giovani hanno riconosciuto il valore dei COY e si sono ispirati a organizzare COY locali (LCOY). Nel 2017, all'interno di YOUNGO è stato istituito un processo formale per sostenere e responsabilizzare i giovani e le organizzazioni giovanili nell'organizzazione di COY regionali e locali. Ulteriori informazioni sul processo LCOY sono disponibili qui Scopes of Different COYs Ambiti di diversi COY 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.

Organizza un file 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. Coordination & Cooperation LCOYs are organised in a spirit of cooperation. If young people or youth movements other than approved people or groups... view more. LCOYs are organized in a spirit of cooperation. If young people or youth movements other than the hereby approved people and groups wish to organize an LCOY in the same country, the approved LCOY is open to search for ways to cooperate.

LCOYs write and publish an output document that captures the views of youth participants on UNFCCC processes, national policy issues, or other topics related to climate change or sustainable development. Submission of Report LCOYs write and publish a short report that comprises (at least) the no of participants, statistics of origin, and info about cooperating organizations. These applications can be submitted until 45 days before the Global Conference of Youth (COY) takes place. ​ The application process aims to prevent conflicts between groups that want to organize LCOYs in the same country or region. ​ It also offers an opportunity to members of YOUNGO to learn more about the applying team in order to explore ways for future collaboration. ​ Finally, it allows the LCOY Working Group to check if 6 fundamental requirements for LCOYs are met. These requirements are to be fulfilled by ​every prospective LCOY team who submits an application to the YOUNGO LCOY Working Group.
