COP29: Keep Paris Alive! YOUNGO demands urgent action: ambitious climate finance, a just transition, and enhanced mitigation efforts. We need concrete adaptation plans to counter the consequences of years of inaction. This includes scaling up adaptation finance, increasing pledges for the Adaptation Fund, and ensuring the most vulnerable groups are prioritized. Join us in demanding action to protect our planet and its people. Read our demands here: https://lnkd.in/dFHwdGXz

Here is the events schedule for today, November 21st. Stay tuned for more events, posts and reels! #COP29 #COP29ImpactMakers #YOUNGO #Youth

The Youth Stocktake Initiative is proposing to have an M&E framework which will assist in tracking youth Initiatives at National, Regional and Global level. This framework, if done has the potential of improving youth reporting, ensuring data availability of youth participation in various UNFCCC (NAPs, NDCs, BTR, ACE Reports etc) is accessible and can feed even into the Global Stocktake process. Read this technical paper to understand more about the proposal. #YST

?? Youth Day at COP29 ?? YOUNGO actively takes part in Youth Day celebrations at the 29th Conference of the Parties! This highlights the critical involvement of young people in addressing climate change and fostering greater youth engagement in global climate policy. At COP29, Youth Day serves as a platform for youth to showcase their ideas, voices, and solutions. The day is marked by a series of activities, workshops, panel discussions, and advocacy campaigns aimed at amplifying the concerns and proposals of young climate leaders. These activities are designed to strengthen the role of youth in shaping climate policy and to raise awareness about the urgency of climate action. Events typically include networking opportunities for youth delegates, collaboration with policymakers, and efforts to influence climate agendas through creative means such as art exhibitions, digital campaigns, and other interactive experiences. YOUNGO's initiatives underscore the importance of integrating youth perspectives into decision-making processes and ensuring that future generations are included in the fight against climate change. By leading this day of celebration and advocacy, YOUNGO continues to play a key role in energizing and empowering the next generation of climate leaders at COP29. #COP29 #COP29ImpactMakers #YOUNGO?#YouthDay

On this planet, there are no borders that the eye can see from above — no Global North, no Global South. Just one Earth, our shared home. #YOUNGO #COP29 #COP29Azerbaijan #COP29ImpactMakers #Youth

?? Youth-Led Climate Forum at COP29 ?? At COP29, the YOUNGO Youth-Led Climate Forum (YCF) once again served as a dynamic platform for young people to actively engage with climate negotiations and advocate for urgent and bold climate action. The YCF strives to ensure that youth voices are represented in meaningful and impactful ways within climate policy discussions. This year, the forum hosted five thematic events in the first week, addressing key issues such as: ?? New Collective Quantified Goals (NCQG) ?? Sustainable Food and Agriculture ?? ACE (Action for Climate Empowerment) and Health ?? NDC 3.0 ??♂ Climate Mobility The headline event on Monday of the second week brought together high-level speakers, youth leaders, and intergenerational voices for inspiring dialogue on climate solutions. Notably, children took the stage as moderators and speakers during several sessions, marking a significant milestone in fostering intergenerational collaboration. Thank you to everyone who participated in the climate dialogues, workshops, sessions, campaigns, and advocacy events. Together, we are driving forward impactful action for a sustainable future! #COP29 #YOUNGO #YouthClimateForum #ClimateAction

YOUNGO Issues an Urgent Call to Action at COP29! At COP29, YOUNGO, the official youth and children’s constituency of the UNFCCC, delivered a critical message through its representatives, Meg (Mongolia) and Oscar (UK). Speaking on behalf of youth and marginalized communities worldwide, they emphasized that, resilience alone is no longer enough, to address the escalating climate crisis. The speakers underscored key concerns, including the inadequacy of Loss and Damage pledges and the potential misuse of Article 6 as a loophole for carbon offsets. They called for equitable and transparent climate finance and urged leaders to demonstrate a genuine commitment to achieving the 1.5°C target. Their message was unequivocal: There can be no climate justice without gender justice and no climate justice without human rights. The urgency for decisive, transformative action has never been greater. #COP29 #COP29ImpactMakers #ClimateJustice #YOUNGO #Youth

You don’t want to miss the end???? Joshua Steib asks COP delegates if they actually know which Conference they are attending... It’s a funny reel, but maybe we should start questioning who should get to attend COP: Year and year again, young people, especially from the frontlines of the climate crisis are excluded from the Conference of the Parties (yes, that’s the name of the Conference) because no badges or funding are available. At the same time more and more people attend just to “network”. For many of us young people, COP means fighting for the survival of our earth and our communities. Maybe this should be taken into account for badge allocation. #COP29 #COP29ImpactMakers #YOUNGO #UNFCCC #UNClimateChange
