The UN Climate Conference (COP 30) is being held in Brazil from 10-21 November 2025. This is an opportunity for countries to update the world on their climate action plans to mitigate emissions. There is likely to be an important focus on nature and land use this year. At MCA Youth Action, we are hoping to introduce a trial Mini COP event for young people on one of those COP 30 days in November. We plan to hold it at Moorlands House where a number of invited organisations will offer information and activities that demonstrate what can be done to help the planet. Approx 50 young people from local schools will be invited with their class teachers to this Mini COP. In addition to the above, we aim to invite our young guests to have a voice themselves by participating in a Q&A session with representatives from the council and other organisations. We have asked for it to be held in the council debating chamber. The council have been very supportive of the idea and we look forward to seeing how this collaboration works for schools, the young people, the council and MCA. If it is successful we may be able to repeat it in 2026 on a larger scale.
