YMCA at Conference of the Parties (COP)

At the World YMCA, we are deeply committed to environmental stewardship and sustainability, and our active engagement in the COP is a testament to that commitment.Since COP 21, we have consistently participated, contributing our voice and efforts to address global challenges related to climate change.

Our unwavering presence at COP events reflects our dedication to fostering positive change on a global scale. Through these conferences, we not only stay abreast of the latest developments in climate action but also actively contribute to discussions, share our experiences, and collaborate with like-minded organizations.

As we navigate the intricate landscape of environmental challenges, our involvement in COP serves as a platform for knowledge exchange, advocacy, and collective action.
