The 16th United Nations Climate Change Conference of Youth, also known as COY16, serves as space for capacity building and policy training to prepare young people for their participation at COP. One of its major outputs is the policy document representing the youth sector during the UN Climate negotiations. In the past, COY was graced by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and the UNFCCC Executive Secretary Patricia Espinosa Cantellano. This event is under the banner of YOUNGO – the official youth constituency of the UNFCCC. Over the years, it has gathered thousands of youth from more than 120 countries.
