Student Leadership Conference on Development at the UN (SLCD@UN) is a student run conference that will continue to focus on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s). The 17 SDG’s will work to help end extreme poverty in the world by 2030. The vision of SLCD@UN is for youth (ages 14-19) to be empowered to be part of the solution to achieve the SDGs by 2030. Students participating in the SLCD@UN will select one of three subthemes and work
closely with other students from around the world who are a part of the same subtheme. They will research, discuss, and analyze cross culturally, at school and on-line, to decide on the most attainable and sustainable solutions to their specific global issue. Student leaders will meet on-line and draft a Plan of Action that will be developed for their discussion and completion in a UN conference. At the end of the conference, the students will vote to approve their Plan of Action. SLCD@UN is a live webcast with students participating from around the world. After final editing by the youth leadership team, the Plan of Action is formally presented to the Office of the UN Envoy on Youth at the United Nations.
Student Congress on the 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change (SCoPA) is for youth ages 14-19. It looks at their country’s commitment to mitigating climate change (SDG 13). It moves them from awareness to action to be part of the solution. Using the reports of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and other relevant research and work, students move from awareness to empowerment through cross cultural interactions that build a global perspective on the seriousness of mitigating climate change. Current Emphasis is on COP26 and the binding agreement facing member states. Youth work via Stepping Stones to have a voice in COP26 decisions.
SCoPA is short for the Student Conference on the Paris Agreement. SC0PA is a Country Based Climate Change Model of awareness and action for youth ages 14-19.
After COP26 in December of this year, selected youth in the current programs will meet with us in early 2022 to decide what is next related to the 2030 Agenda goals. It is the ultimate empowerment for youth.
