Welcome to LCOY Canada 2024!

In seeking cooperation for Canada's future, we need to listen to where everyone is coming from: Some people are scared, some are excited about 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 a 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. 

Many incredible youth organizations and leaders in climate change are coming to LCOY Canada. This is your chance to have a conversation with them. Questions also help everyone learn and go deeper into their work. 

 Ideas happen when people work together. Did a speaker's message spark an idea for you? Share it with them! You never know the impact you can make by offering your unique viewpoint. 

Do you have something to say about climate change in Canada? Are you doing climate action work? Do you do professional or research work in climate change? Share it at this year's LCOY Canada! 

Do you like having something to do? You can assist the Organizing Team take notes on the events you attend. Every viewpoint is important and we want to make sure to include it. 

Some presentations have audience participation planned. Get involved in presentations by sharing your ideas or answering poll questions during events.  

No matter what you choose to do from this list, you are helping to contribute to the success of LCOY Canada 2024 and how Canadian youth voices are heard at COY and COP later this year. 

LCOY Canada is a space to empower youth to take action on climate change and sustainability. Youth will be able to share knowledge, build awareness for climate change, grow skills for climate action, and connect with youth nationally. 

Utilizing the network connections youth and youth organizations have, the LCOY Canada 2024 Output Document will be presented and advocated for within the various levels and branches of the Canadian government. 

The LCOY Canada 2024 Output Document will join the output documents from other LCOYs this year to be a part of COY's Global Youth Position Statement. This statement will be presented at this year's COP29 during Youth & Public Empowerment Day.
