What is Mock COP26?
The Mock COP is a youth-led, youth-run online conference that will show the world what would happen if young people were the decision-makers. They are aiming to fill the void of the postponed COP26 with a big, inclusive online Mock COP. The event will run between the 19th of November and the 1st of December 2020. The two-week event will comprise empowering and informative keynotes and panels by global names and youth activists, followed by high-level opening statements by the youth delegates and facilitated workshops and regional caucuses. The discussions will be framed around five conference themes: climate justice; education; health and mental health; green jobs; carbon reduction targets. The event will culminate in a powerful conference statement to world leaders from the youth of the world, raising ambition for COP26. We will subsequently support and mentor delegates to engage their domestic politicians in the year to COP26. If you would like more information.. https://www.
