General Questions about LCOY Yemen:
Global Conference of Youths (COY) is organized in collaboration with YOUNGO and is one of the largest youth-led global youth climate conferences in the world. The conference takes place right before the annual UN COP conference in the same host country. COY serves as a platform to prepare youth for capacity building and policy training in order to foster their participation at COP and as global climate leaders. COY is credited as the most significant youth gathering for its capacity to directly contribute to an official global youth position in the UNFCCC process. COY achieves this through a document policy crafted by youth voices globally which is incorporated during COP for the Youth & Public Empowerment Day. For instance, COP16’s Global Youth Position Statement represented the views of over 40,000 young people worldwide.
