COPenhagen Youth Simulation: Democracy at Risk in Climate Governance
A two-day hands-on experience where you step into the shoes of country delegates and explore how global climate decisions really happen.

What to expect
Offered by Sustainary, People of 2050, and Actory, the COPenhagen Youth Simulation is a two-day hands-on experience where you get to explore how global climate decisions really happen.
Day 1 dives into the geopolitics of the green transition and the behind-the-scenes power plays shaping climate policy — giving you the knowledge and skills to understand the game before you play it.
Day 2 puts you in the action: step into the shoes of a country delegate, negotiate, debate, and defend your climate agenda in a real-life simulation of international climate talks. Practice public speaking, form alliances, tackle crises, and experience the thrill of making decisions that matter.
It's more than a simulation — it's your chance to bridge the gap between youth and real climate politics, gain hands-on experience, and connect with peers who care about the future.
