COPenhagen Youth Simulation: Democracy at Risk in Climate Governance

Studenterhuset, Købmagergade 52, 1150 København K

Description

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.

A two-day hands-on experience where you step into the shoes of country delegates and explore how global climate decisions really happen.
