YOUNGO, the official children and youth constituency of the UNFCCC, invites young people, working groups and partner organisations from around the world to take part in this year’s edition.
VCOP is a free, children- and youth-led virtual replica of the COP experience, hosted on Gather. Participants can join as avatars, explore session rooms, pavilions and networking spaces, and connect with young climate advocates worldwide.
This year’s edition will focus on the Global Climate Action Agenda and the wider UN system, exploring the gaps and needs young people face in actively contributing to climate solutions.
Building on the success of our first edition, which brought together over 1,500 participants from 68 countries, we are looking forward to creating another space for meaningful youth engagement and collaboration.

- Lead a session or intervention
