Young Change-Makers from more than 140 Countries Participate in 17th Climate Change Conference of Youth

• The YOUTH conference COY17 has just finished.

• The key outcome of COY17 is a policy document called the Global Youth Statement, a comprehensive text providing youth input to world leaders on the steps they believe should be taken to advance climate action. The 66-page policy document provides detailed advice on a range of topics from mitigation and adaptation to just transition and financing, including a call for a loss and damage facility.

• The key findings from the Youth conference will be presented to COP27 on 10th November.
