What we do

The LCOY brings together young people from the youth climate movement and other stakeholders from all over the country to collaborate and form collective opinions to influence decision-making processes as equal stakeholders in the 27th UN Climate Change Conference of Parties in 2022, on behalf of Africa, to feature youth-centered solutions that will help close the gap this decade.
