Youth at international climate negotiations: profiles, motivations and impacts

Kang, Yi Hyun LU orcid ; Helmy, Riham and Orsini, Amandine (2024) p.71-85
Abstract
Young people have been prominent climate advocates globally and they are also becoming increasingly visible in global climate politics. They have participated in Conferences of the Parties (COPs) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) since COP1 in 1995. While recent studies have started to examine the representativeness and participation of youth at the COPs, we still lack detailed data and information about the profiles and backgrounds of youth participants in these spaces. This chapter looks into the backgrounds of youth advocates attending international climate conferences, by examining the data collected at COP27 and the 17th Conference of Youth (COY17), a youth-focused event held just before COP27.
