Young people are key stakeholders in our planet’s future and powerful agents of change. This makes it essential that their voices are heard, and they are involved in decision-making at community, regional, and national levels. This inspired WWF-India, in 2020, to launch the Model Conference of Parties (MCOP), a simulation of the global Conference of Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD COP). In anticipation of the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration that runs from 2021 through 2030, the MCOP programme aims to build the understanding of the young people about the importance of biodiversity and ecosystems for a sustainable world. The 3-day conference brings student leaders on one platform shaping them into environmentally conscious and active global citizens who can navigate real-world environmental challenges and lead action for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem restoration.
