Local Conference of Youth Hong Kong 2020

The first virtual Local Conference of Youth Hong Kong (LCOY HK), accredited by UN YOUNGO, will be held on Saturday, 31st October 2020. The theme is “Green Recovery after COVID-19”.

LCOY HK is a one-day virtual conference. There are climate speakers and youth representatives of youth leader groups in Asian regions to share their experience and climate action to the participants at LCOY HK. Participants will form a group and draft the youth position paper capturing the views of youth participants on UNFCCC processes, national policy issues, or other topics related to climate change or sustainable development. The position paper will be submitted to UN YOUNGO for global youth positioning on climate at COP 26. This is a valuable opportunity that shouldn’t be missed!
