About Mock COP26

 

• Mock COP26 is an online alternative to postponed COP26, organised by more than 200  students from 52 countries, to demand more action from world leaders on the climate crisis and social justice. The event will take place from 19 November to 01 December.

 

• With COP26 postponed until late 2021, student activists have created Mock COP to show the world what would happen if young people were the decision makers.

 

• More than 350 young delegates from 145 countries will provide a powerful statement outlining the views of young people from the countries they represent .

 

• Mock COP26 will be an inclusive event that prioritises amplifying voices from the Global South, as well as those of minorities.

 

• The conference will feature empowering keynotes and panels by global names and youth activists. Discussions will be framed around five conference themes: climate justice, education, health and mental health, green jobs, and carbon reduction targets (NDCs).

 

• The conference will culminate in a powerful statement from the young delegates, which will be presented to world leaders to raise ambition ahead of COP26.

 

• Following the event, delegates will be supported and mentored to engage their domestic politicians in the run up to COP26.

 

• Mock COP will have significantly lower emissions than a ‘real’ COP and will be carbon neutral. The carbon emissions of a ‘real’ COP is 59,020 tonnes of CO2, whereas MockCOP will produce only 39 tonnes of CO2 and this will be offset.
