Bangladesh Youth COP

This year, Bangladesh Youth CoP is focusing on ‘Youth for Just Transition’.

About Youth COP

Climate change is no longer an issue of future concern, rather it is happening now; more frequently and more intensely. Either it is flood, cyclone or heatwave, young people are always the sufferers. Yet their representation is not adequate on the global context. To reduce this gap between policy making and youth participation; Brighters Society of Bangladesh, with the support of ActionAid Bangladesh, organizes ‘Bangladesh Youth CoP’ since 2021 to articulate grassroots young people’s voice to the national and global platforms.

The Voice

Bangladesh, a highly disaster-prone country, ranks seventh on the 2021 World Climate Risk Index, yet contributes only 0.14% of global greenhouse gas emissions. To address climate challenges, ActionAid Bangladesh and Brighters Society host “Bangladesh Youth COP,” engaging youth from vulnerable regions for grassroots consultation and advocacy on climate justice.

Green Manifesto

ActionAid Bangladesh and Brighters jointly organized the “Bangladesh Youth COP 2023” on 6–8 September 2023. Young people from Bangladesh and the Global South raised demands for a just transition through a Green Manifesto. Ahead of the 12th National Election, the conference called for renewable energy to be prioritized in the political agenda. Prior to the event, three regional consultations were held in Sunamganj, Cox’s Bazar, and Satkhira.
