Deadline: 10 Sep

Eligibility: Global

Description:  

The Global Youth Biodiversity Network is bringing the youth voices to COP16. We are planning to to organize an international youth delegation to join COP16 in Cali, Colombia from October 18 to November 2nd, 2024.

Our primary goal is to provide young people from a wide variety of backgrounds, that are working on Biodiversity issues and that are between 18 and 35 years old, an opportunity to speak up for biodiversity and rights-based approaches at COP16. By enabling them to play an active role in the discussion of the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Kunming Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KM GBF), we are aiming to build capacity among young people so that they can become strong partners in the implementation of the new biodiversity plan.
