Sweta Dixit's Company Details
COY or Conference of Youth is an annual gathering of young people from all over the world who are passionate about climate change and environmental topics. It is organised by the youth for the youth. The event takes place once every year right before the annual UN Climate Change Conference, also known as the Conference of Parties (COP), at the same location organised by local youth in collaboration with YOUNGO.It aims to bring together the global youth to compile national and regional inputs into positions of global youth to be fed into the climate negotiations. COY serves as a preparation session of youth NGOs to develop position papers, and hold strategic discussions on climate change solutions. For the 2021 edition, COY is officially supported by the United Nations Secretary-General Envoy on Youth.
