The event, which
was organized, by the youth and environment ministries, UNICEF office in
Jordan, and Generations for Peace, aims to raise awareness about climate
change, and involve young people in finding possible solutions to address
related challenges, according to a joint statement issued by the two
ministries.
Held under the
aegis of YOUNGO, the official youth constituency of the UN Framework Convention
on Climate Change (
UNFCCC), the conference provides an opportunity to some 100
young men and women interested in climate action to exchange views and
discussions with climate experts and then present their proposals and solutions
to local and international decision makers, the statement said.
LCoY is a
starting point for the 2022 UN Climate Change Conference (
COP27), scheduled to
be held next month in Egypt.
The two-day
conference focuses on the impact of climate change on Jordan’s youth and
related youth-led action.
Its activities
include a panel discussion on climate education and youth engagement, an
interactive session on “Climate Change — Current Global Situation and Efforts
to Mitigate and Adapt”, and workshops on related challenges, policy
