COP29 Climate Negotiation Simulation Event, Belfast
On 19 November 2024, to coincide with the United Nations COP29 summit in Baku, Azerbaijan, we will host a COP29 climate negotiation simulation. Approximately 150 students will come together for this special event which gives young people the opportunity to experience negotiating a climate deal. Playing the part of world leaders, Non-Governmental Bodies (NGOs) or Media, students will be tasked with taking part in a real-life climate simulation, aiming to produce a global agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Students will be given a brief in advance of the event which they are to work on in groups throughout the day.
This event comes under the Climate Strand of our work in Youth Connect, British Council's global youth leadership programme which supports young people to develop the skills, inspiration and connections to tackle major challenges, such as climate change, employability and inequality. Playing the part of world leaders, Non-Governmental Bodies (NGOs) or Media, students take part in a real-life climate simulation, aimed at producing a global agreement to limit the rise in global temperature to pre-industrial levels.
