“We’re excited to announce our partnership for Youth4COP in collaboration with The Climate Reality Project- India & South Asia branch, Climate Action Network South Asia (CANSA), and other partners to empower youth for a sustainable future.”
“Solutions to the Climate Crisis are within reach, but in order to capture them, we must take urgent action today across every level of society.” – Al Gore
Empowering youth to engage in policy making and negotiations is imperative in today’s world. The Climate Reality Project India & South Asia, Indian Youth Climate Network & Climate Action Network South Asia are collaborating with partners who share a commitment to nurturing the next generation of climate leaders. Through “Youth 4 COP,” our aim is to equip young minds with essential skills and empower them to contribute to a better future for all. Today’s youth are the stewards of our planet, holding the key to effecting meaningful change. Our program seeks to provide young participants with a deeper understanding of COP processes and deliberations. They will be trained to articulate their ideas, concerns, and solutions effectively, ensuring their voices are heard. Furthermore, they will learn how to navigate the complexities of the COP platform, preparing them to actively participate in future deliberations. This pioneering initiative endeavours to cultivate leadership skills among youth participants encouraging them to ignite change through capacity building workshops, knowledge-sharing sessions, and networking opportunities.
The program is open to young people passionate about climate action, typically aged between 18 and 30, who are eager to contribute to a sustainable and resilient planet. A series of workshops will feature expert-led online sessions that provide insights into the latest developments and strategies. These experts, having participated in COPs in various capacities, bring a wealth of experience. Participants will engage with real-world case studies, interactive debates, hands-on training, and assignments designed to foster critical thinking and practical skills. Additionally, field projects will offer opportunities to apply their knowledge in real-world settings.
