LCOY
The Local Conference of Youth (LCOY) is an event under the umbrella of YOUNGO, the official youth constituency of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Its aims are to be a space to boost youth climate action locally and create input into international conferences. It represents a national version of the International Conference of Youth (COY), which takes place immediately before the Conference of Parties (COP), the annual UN Climate Change Conference. To date, more than 300 local youth conferences have been successfully organized, attracting the participation of over 40,000 young delegates. These conferences serve as dynamic spaces where young people from diverse backgrounds come together to exchange ideas, share experiences, discuss pressing challenges, and collaboratively develop innovative solutions to combat the multifaceted issue of climate change.
