The first Global Youth Forum on Climate Change (GYFCC) was held in 2016. Since then, the Forum has been held consecutively for the last five years, expanding to an international event with participation from over 70 countries which provides a platform for youth to share their knowledge and propose ideas and solutions to issues related to climate change. It further supports youth by helping them develop and improve project proposals through capacity building, guided by mentors providing technical expertise. While providing a platform to network, this forum has increased youth participation in climate action connected to climate change and disaster risks, sustainable food systems, waste management, biodiversity and ecosystems, and oceans. In November 2021, SLYCAN Trust will be launching the 6th Global Youth Forum on Climate Change. The Forum aims to bring together youth from around the world as well as foster multi-stakeholder partnerships and collaborations; to empower youth in actively taking part in climate action at the local, national, and international level by providing a platform to build capacities; to provide the opportunity for youth to engage with mentors and like-minded other youth and develop innovative solutions to chart the path toward a climate-resilient world.
