This youth-led initiative invites passionate individuals aged 18–30 from across India and South Asia to join a powerful movement focused on climate action, policy dialogue, and leadership development. Whether you’re a student, activist, artist, or simply someone who believes in a just and sustainable future, Youth for COP offers a platform to learn, engage, and make your voice count.
Organized in partnership with CANSA and IYCN, Youth for COP empowers young people to become catalysts for change through knowledge, collaboration, and creative advocacy. It’s a space where your voice matters — where you can connect with peers, engage in meaningful conversations on climate justice, and help build a stronger, youth-driven response to the climate crisis. This is more than participation — it’s about ownership, leadership, and action.

Empowering youth to engage in policy making and negotiations is imperative in today’s world. The Climate Reality Project India & South Asia is collaborating with partners who share a commitment to nurturing the next generation of climate leaders. Through “Youth 4 COP,” our aim is to equip young minds with essential skills and empower them to contribute to a better future for all. Today’s youth are the stewards of our planet, holding the key to effecting meaningful change.
Our program seeks to provide young participants with a deeper understanding of COP processes and deliberations. They will be trained to articulate their ideas, concerns, and solutions effectively, ensuring their voices are heard. Furthermore, they will learn how to navigate the complexities of the COP platform, preparing them to actively participate in future deliberations.
This pioneering initiative endeavours to cultivate leadership skills among youth participants encouraging them to ignite change through capacity building workshops, knowledge-sharing sessions, and networking opportunities.
The training equips participants to understand climate negotiations better.
