LCOY - Local Conference of Youth

LCOY stands for Local Conference of Youth, an initiative of YOUNGO, the official youth and children NGOs constituency of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). 

In 2014, a global wave of energy sparked an interest by many young people who could not attend the global COY in Paris, to organize parallel events. Known as “Local COYs”, these meetings played a crucial role in mobilizing more young people for climate action than ever before around the world. This practice of Local COYs continued since then. As the world now moves into pursuing implementation of the Paris Agreement and raising ambitions on national and global levels, it is more important than ever to build a strong global youth network that is firmly rooted in local action. In 2020 alone there were 29 different LCOYs hosted by youth all around the world.
