As the world converges in preparation for the 17th United Nations Conference of Youth on Climate Change (COY 17), EMAM Organization for Development and Culture takes pride in its role as a Communication Partner for this monumental gathering. COY 17, set to take place in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, serves as a powerful platform for youth engagement, advocacy, and leadership in the global climate discourse.
Why COY 17 Matters
COY is an official youth event held annually prior to the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP). It serves as a space where young climate leaders from around the world unite to exchange ideas, build networks, and develop policy recommendations that will be presented at COP. This year’s COY 17 in Sharm El-Sheikh holds special significance as it continues to amplify youth-led climate action in one of the regions most affected by climate change.
EMAM Organization’s Role in COY 17
As an observer NGO at UNFCCC, EMAM Organization has been actively engaged in climate diplomacy, environmental education, and community-driven climate action. Through our partnership with COY 17, we aim to:
- Enhance Communication & Outreach:
- Leverage our platforms to amplify COY 17 activities, ensuring broader engagement from Egyptian and international youth.
- Provide real-time updates and insights on discussions, workshops, and key takeaways from COY 17.
- Support Youth Capacity Building:
- Facilitate workshops and sessions on climate diplomacy, climate justice, and sustainable development.
- Connect young Egyptian climate advocates with global changemakers.
- Bridge Policy & Action:
- Ensure that youth recommendations from COY 17 are effectively communicated to decision-makers at COP 17 and beyond.
- Foster discussions on integrating youth-led solutions into national and regional climate strategies.
The Journey to Sharm El-Sheikh
In the months leading up to COY 17, EMAM Organization will launch a series of online campaigns, interactive discussions, and pre-events designed to prepare participants and raise awareness on key climate issues. Our goal is to empower young voices and create an inclusive space where diverse perspectives contribute to actionable climate solutions.
