COP31 Preparation by MEB: "81 Young Delegates from 81 Provinces" Study Started

According to the statement made by the Ministry of National Education (MEB), the "81 Young Delegates from 81 Provinces" study was launched within the framework of the preparations for the 31st Conference of the Parties (COP31) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which will be hosted by Turkey between 9-20 November.

Within the scope of the work to be carried out to ensure the active participation of young people in climate change and sustainability studies, one main and two substitute young delegates will be determined to represent each province among the students studying in secondary education institutions.

Young people will look at the climate agenda from their own provinces

The aim of the "81 Young Delegates from 81 Provinces" study is for students to evaluate climate change and sustainable living issues and develop solution suggestions based on the geographical, environmental, social and cultural characteristics of the provinces they live in.

In the selection of delegates, students' observations about the environment they live in, their original ideas and solution suggestions, and their research and expression skills will be taken into consideration.

81 declarations from 81 provinces will be prepared

After the selection process is completed, the young delegates selected will prepare a declaration regarding their provinces within the scope of COP31 themes.

Thus, the experiences, observations and suggestions of young people from different regions of Türkiye regarding climate change will be brought together and the climate agenda will be presented from the youth perspective of 81 provinces.

Declarations prepared with the information of one main and two reserve young delegates to be determined for each province will be sent to the General Directorate of Secondary Education of the Ministry of Education by the provincial directorates of national education.
