For the past two days, youths have been engaged in a mock Conference of Parties. The young leaders assumed roles as party delegates attached to negotiating blocks; each of them representing different countries. They carried out climate change negotiations and were able to experience the scale and intensity of the COP. While the goal was to have the youths engaged in the climate change discourse on the national and international stage, the mock session culminated with the drafting of a formal youth declaration which was presented to and signed by C.E.O. Doctor Kenrick Williams at today’s session for senior officials. Ryan Uh of the Northern Maya Association of Belize acted as president of the mock COP50.
