Climate Change & Sustainability Youth Policy Demands Lobbying

In September 2023, a Local Conference of Youth (LCOY) was hosted in Canada. LCOYs are a conference framework from the UNFCCC global youth consistency YOUNGO that invites youth and youth-led entities in a country to come together to build capacity and make policy demands ahead of each year's United Nations Conference on Climate Change (the yearly Conference of Parties for the UNFCCC). Typically these demands are not intentionally distributed within the country the LCOY is hosted in. This project is focused on sharing the youth policy demands from LCOY Canada 2023 with relevant policy makers, decision makers, and groups. The policy demands are focused on the topics of the conference: Low-carbon energy, climate finance, sustainable cities, biodiversity, the ocean, the arctic, food and agriculture, climate justice, and youth-led politics.

French Translation and Engagement - Climate Change Conference

We are hosting a national youth climate change conference and to be truly national we need to be accessible to the Francophone community in Canada! Our conference follows a U.N framework called LCOY. The purpose of LCOY is to gather youth and youth organizations in a country to talk about climate change issues relevant to their country. The issues and perspectives that are shared during the conference are taken and turned into a policy document, demanding decision makers take action. This project will help us translate translate communication material (e.g. our social media, website, print material) and the policy document into French and help us invite French-Canadian youth to our conference (via email outreach).
