Meet the Presidency Youth Climate Champion
The recent establishment of the role of the Presidency Youth Climate Champion (Decision 16/CP.28), is meant to further enhance and encourage the inclusive engagement of children and young people in climate processes.
The PYCC work focuses on these areas:
- Enhancing the inclusion, participation and representation of children and youth in climate policy and action through advocacy and awareness-raising.
- Empowering young people to usefully contribute to decision-making on climate through capacity-building and education opportunities.
- Elevating and amplifying the voices of children and youth on climate policy within the COP Presidency, UNFCCC and beyond.
- Catalysing action by leveraging the COP to advance, resource and monitor youth-led climate action.
