COP17 Youth Resolution Paper Competition

Got a voice for climate action? This is your chance to bring it to the world stage!

Write a resolution paper on real issues heading into COP17 — Mongolia-specific or global — and you could represent it in the Blue Zone in front of an international audience.

Eligibility

• Ages 16–18

• Individual submissions only

• Choose up to 2 issues from the 4 official COP17 topics:

  • 1. Finance Day

  • 2. Water Day

  • 3. Land & People Day

  • 4. Food Systems and Soil Health Day

Issues can be Mongolia-specific or global — from Sahel drought resilience to Central Asian rangeland collapse to climate-driven displacement anywhere in the world.

Research is encouraged — especially to center the voices most impacted by the issues you choose. Sources must be cited at the end of your paper.
