LCOY Taiwan, in your school.

A UNFCCC-recognized, K-16 sustainability and English education framework — designed so a school can plug it into the curriculum, clubs and activities it already runs.

UNFCCC YOUNGO Recognized K-16 · English-led · PBL

What is LCOY? The Local Conference of Youth is a national-level youth climate conference officially recognized by YOUNGO, the UNFCCC's official youth constituency. Youth perspectives and climate declarations gathered at each LCOY are carried up to the global Conference of Youth (COY) and the UN climate summit (COP).

Youth Network is the sole UNFCCC-recognized hosting team for LCOY Taiwan, working alongside PAC (People Achievement Consulting) on youth sustainability and international education exchange.

The K-16 ladder

One continuous pathway, ages 6 to 22

Climate awareness in elementary school grows into youth climate leadership and real policy contribution by university.

🌱 Elementary Awareness
  • Online or in-person lessons build basic awareness of sustainability, the environment and climate change through everyday observation and simple expression.
  • Sustainability-themed projects tie into PE or other activities — showing the seven core sustainability concepts apply across subjects.
🧭 Junior High Exploration
  • The SDGs are introduced fully in English, building an international outlook and a first understanding of environmental and climate issues.
  • Students form their own LCOY Taiwan learning communities or clubs, explore local issues, and develop project designs and solutions.
🚀 Senior High Leadership
  • Students learn how UN forums work — including COY31 (Antalya, Türkiye, 2026) — and gain real cross-border learning experience.
  • Students connect the SDGs with their own interests — tech, art, business, sport, social issues — to develop a personal sustainability action idea.
  • Students found and lead LCOY Taiwan clubs, building youth leadership and public-communication skills.
🌍 University Impact
  • After workshop training, students run university-level LCOY Taiwan climate workshops, draft a youth climate report and submit policy recommendations to local government.
  • Multiple international exchange opportunities — including COY31 — build global citizenship and international action capacity.
  • Internship matching and industry-academia links with ESG organizations, integrated with the university's USR office.
Where students end up

GCOY, youth delegates and international competitions
