Local Conference of Youth
Local Conference of Youth (LCOY) is an event initiated by YOUNGO since 2014, with an aim to empower youth through networking and knowledge sharing. Apart from the annual Conference of Youth (COY), LCOY desires to connect the annual climate negotiations to local climate action and turn words into action, especially youth actions. LCOY offers a platform for youth to get involved in climate change, to connect and empower each other to be global, national and local climate leaders, creative problem solvers, advocates and networkers through knowledge-sharing and networking. LCOY will build a network in which youth can connect across borders and explore ways to collaborate and advocate for more effective climate commitments and actions at regional and global levels.
