"Mastering International Climate Negotiations: All You Need to Know" is a new e-course designed to guide participants through the intricate landscape of global climate negotiations as we approach COP29.
Created in collaboration with the UNFCCC Secretariat and the COP28 UAE Presidency Youth Climate Champion, it makes international climate negotiation principles more accessible, especially for newcomers and youth delegates.
With an emphasis on simplifying often complex themes, the course covers key topics within the UNFCCC framework, such as implementation mechanisms of the Paris Agreement and the Convention, which influence the policies and decisions shaping climate action worldwide.
"Mastering International Negotiations" is not just about learning but also about empowerment. It emphasizes youth empowerment in the negotiation process, supporting meaningful engagement on equal footing. Through 12 fun and engaging video-based lessons, participants will get critical insights into the UNFCCC process, gaining both the theoretical foundation and the practical knowledge to participate effectively in climate negotiations.
“Young people have repeatedly raised that capacity building is a key priority for their meaningful participation during our global youth consultations. This partnership responds to that clearly identified need. COP28, UNFCCC, and UNITAR’s collaboration on climate education demonstrates our commitment to empower the younger generation and foster their active involvement in tackling the global climate crisis.“ - H.E. Shamma Al Mazrui, COP28 Youth Climate Champion
“UNFCCC is committed to fostering global climate literacy and empowering people everywhere to participate in climate policymaking and decision-making processes. Developed with the COP28 Presidency and UNITAR, this new the vital role of young people as agents of change in accelerating climate action at a time of spiraling climate harms for people of all ages, and massive climate costs for all economies. The course provides learners with essential knowledge about the intergovernmental climate change process. Join us in helping to nurture the skills and expertise needed to ensure impactful climate action, now and in the future." — Simon Stiell, Executive Secretary, UN Climate Change
