International Canadian Youth Delegate Programme - International Vienna Energy and Climate Forum

The International Canadian Youth Delegate Programme is designed to empower young Canadians who are eager to engage with and contribute to UN meetings, specifically focusing on negotiations related to climate change, biodiversity, and gender issues. Through this program, participants will gain privileged access to UN processes, both during their pre-departure training sessions in Canada and while participating in crucial global events, meetings, and discussions around the world. Encouraging youth involvement in the United Nations' work leads to improved policymaking and more inclusive responses to the challenges facing young people today.

The International Vienna Energy and Climate Forum will gather senior decision-makers, international experts and other stakeholders on 2 and 3 November 2023 at the Hofburg International Centre in Vienna, Austria.

The two-day event takes place at a critical moment for global climate action and sustainable development. Convening only a few weeks before the United Nations Climate Conference COP 28, the Forum will provide insightful impulses and practical solutions to best support the global summit.
