#1 A 100% virtual conference in October 2022
LCOY Canada 2022 is 100% virtual conference on October 22 to allow everyone the chance to attend without obstacles.
#2 Youth and Youth Organizations are coming
LCOY Canada is inviting youth (ages 15-35) and youth organizations to come together for the first time to discuss climate change in Canada and plan together what we can do about it.
#3 co-Write an Output Document for the United Nations
LCOYs are designed to allow youth of a country to contribute to the work being done at the highest level of the United Nations. All LCOYs write an Output policy document demanding global decision makers at COP to take action on climate change.
#4 Help Youth Start their Climate Action Work Tomorrow
Sometimes conferences have a tendency to not amount toward any specific action afterward. We are designing LCOY Canada 2022 to be better than that, so every youth that attends finds something they can start doing tomorrow for climate action.
Who Is Invited To LCOY Canada?
Youth and youth organizations are at the center
The focus of LCOY Canada is to engage Canadian youth (ages 15 - 35) and youth organizations about climate change in Canada. Not even everyone speaking or presenting at LCOY Canada 2022 is a youth, because the focus of LCOY Canada is truly youth engagement, learning, and climate action. Being a youth or not ,is less relevant when it comes to engaging youth for a more sustainable and just Canadian future. If you aren't a youth, you are still welcome to attend and support the participation, learning, and climate action of Canadian youth at LCOY Canada 2022.
What Can Youth Do At LCOY Canada 2022?
Listen to Others
Learn From Others
Learn From Others
In seeking cooperation for Canada's future, we need to listen where everyone is coming from: Some people are scared, some are excited for the future, and some are skeptical. Without listening we cannot learn or understand each other, much less cooperate together.

We often get stuck in a routine. LCOY Canada is the chance to see what others are doing across the country. Even when we think we are doing the same thing as others, everyone does it a little differently, and that is a chance to learn and improve our own work.

Coming together for the first Canadian LCOY is exciting but will also show us not everyone follows our exact viewpoint. We need to cooperate to be successful and that takes understanding.

LCOY Canada 2022 Output Document
What's an Output Document?
An Output Document is required by YOUNGO and LCOY Earth (the organizers of LCOYs around the world) for LCOY in a given year to publish after their conference. Based on what happens at the LCOY, the conference organizers detail demands the youth of their country make to their decision makers in terms of climate action. Each LCOY submits their Output Document to COY to be included in the Global Youth Position Statement for the year. This Global Youth Statement is presented during COP during Youth & Public Empowerment Day.
Can I see it?
Of course! You will be able to read it 2 weeks after LCOY Canada 2022 finishes. Once we publish it you will be able to find it here:
