Key Outcomes
- GainForest AI tool aids youth negotiators by overcoming the language barrier, making UNFCCC documents more accessible for both non-native and native English speakers.
- The tool saves time for youth negotiators by summarizing lengthy documents and drafting emails, allowing them to focus more on learning about and engaging in negotiations.
- Serving as a "coach," the tool facilitates debate, presents different perspectives on issues, and enhances the confidence and abilities of youth negotiators to actively participate in negotiations.
