Road to COP31
COP31 is one moment. The movement is much bigger.
The Coalition of Young Women for Climate Justice is mobilizing ahead of COP31 to strengthen young women’s influence in climate policy, finance, negotiations, and public debate.
Our aim is not simply to increase visibility at the conference. It is to build collective power before, during, and beyond COP31.
Objectives
What we want to achieve
Through the Road to COP31, the coalition will pursue a clear set of goals rooted in young women's leadership.
- Gather climate justice priorities from young women across regions
- Connect local realities with global negotiations
- Develop shared policy recommendations
- Strengthen young women's understanding of climate processes
- Create opportunities for engagement with decision-makers
- Support coordinated advocacy
- Amplify perspectives that are often excluded
- Build long-term relationships beyond the conference
Activities
How the campaign will unfold
The Road to COP31 moves through connected phases: listening, policy development, engagement, and accountability.
Global listening sessions
Young women will be invited to share priorities, experiences, questions, and recommendations.
Regional dialogues
Regional sessions will explore context-specific climate justice concerns and identify points of connection.
Policy development
Consultation findings will inform a young women's climate justice agenda, policy briefs, statements, and advocacy messages.
Public storytelling
The coalition will publish interviews, reflections, videos, creative work, and community perspectives.
Learning spaces
Workshops and briefings will help participants understand climate negotiations, finance, adaptation, loss and damage, gender policy, and advocacy.
Decision-maker engagement
The coalition will seek structured engagement with governments, negotiators, climate institutions, funders, and other actors.
COP31 participation
Where possible, coalition members will participate in events, dialogues, media engagement, and advocacy connected to the conference.
Post-COP accountability
After COP31, the coalition will assess outcomes, share analysis, and identify priorities for continued action.
