    COP28 delivers lasting legacy for youth with Youth Climate Champion role institutionalized
    Dec 22 2023
    • Parties have agreed in the official COP28 negotiated text to institutionalize the role of the Presidency Youth Climate Champion (YCC) within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) process, to enhance the meaningful participation and representation of youth in future COPs.

    • Following the COP27 Youth Envoy role, COP28 appointed the first official Youth Climate Champion, Her Excellency Shamma Al Mazrui, who was previously the youngest minister of state in the world.

    • The UAE has been committed to supporting the formalization of the YCC role to ensure all future COPs will engage meaningfully with young people and other marginalized groups in the UNFCCC process.

    • The current YCC and COP28 Presidency teams are also seeking sustainable external funding to avoid any need for Party-negotiated finance, and maximum practical support for youth-led climate action and movements.

    • The COP28 Youth Climate Delegates Program is the largest initiative to-date to expand youth participation in the COP process, with 110 young people from around the world being empowered to drive climate action and participate in the COP negotiations.
