Could you be the next delegate to represent the UK at the Youth G7/G20/COP29?
The Future Leaders Network is looking for four ambitious, passionate young people to represent the U.K. at the G7 and G20 Youth Summits 2024 as well as COP29. The Y7/Y20 are the official youth engagement groups for the G7/G20 and its purpose is to ensure that the Heads of State G7/G20 Declaration best represents and delivers action on youth priorities and issues. The annual COP (Conference of the Parties) is similarly held to assess the effects of measures taken against climate change.
The 2024 Y7 will be held in Italy (May 2024).
The 2024 Y20 will be hosted in Brazil (Summer 2024)!
The COP29 has yet to confirm a venue.
As a delegate at the Y7/Y20/COP29, you'll get the chance to represent your country at the highest level of decision making, developing evidence-based policies on behalf of young people and advocate these proposals to world leaders. You'll build incredible skills such as public consultation, policy making and negotiating, and join a network of global leaders.
Applications from young people from all backgrounds and walks of life are welcomed - the Future Leaders Network is committed to ensuring that the U.K.'s delegates are representative of U.K. youth in all its diversity.
The only eligibility criteria are that:
you are aged 18-30 by 14 January 2024 and
you are a U.K. citizen and/or hold a valid U.K. passport.
The role is voluntary, but there may be costs involved with participation, such as travel. For more information on the financing of each opportunity, please refer to the ‘Delegate Opportunity Description’ document located on each event’s page.
