BRICS YEA is proud to be partnering with the Northern Forum and co-hosting the first-of-its-kind Arctic Pavilion at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP29) in Baku, Azerbaijan. With the BRICS YEA as youth partner, the COP29 Arctic Pavilion is the first COP Pavilion with young people leading the programming, partnerships and communications throughout the whole conference. The general partner of the Arctic Pavilion is the Melnichenko Foundation. More info: https://arcticpavilion-cop.org

COP29 Arctic Pavilion is a new universal platform within the UNFCCC COPs for the cooperation, partnerships, outreach and knowledge sharing on climate and sustainable development in the Arctic, with a particular focus on the indigenous communities and youth. This platform is open to everyone living in, connected to or interested in the Arctic. Find us in the COP29 Blue Zone, Pavilion D17, on November 11-22, 2024. In case of questions, please reach out to cop@northernforum.org

There are several opportunities of engaging in the COP29 Arctic Pavilion:

• Apply to host a side-event (fill in the form https://arcticpavilion-cop.org);
• Express your interest in partnering with and supporting the COP29 Arctic Pavilion;
• Come visit us at the Pavilion throughout the 2-weeks of intensive programming (save the events calendar in advance);
• Watch insightful expert sessions at the COP29 Arctic Pavilion LIVE on the Arctic Pavilion’s website and social media.

We believe that tackling the effects of climate change in the region requires close coordination, collaboration and partnership with relevant global governance efforts and leadership from the indigenous communities and youth. With the main regional cooperation largely frozen, the COP29 Arctic Pavilion can become a leading annual meeting place of the key stakeholders.

You can submit an Open Call application between August 20 and September 20, 2024. Applicants will be notified by October 7, 2024. Possible late submissions will be looked into within the availability of open slots.

Join us to make the Arctic cooperation LIVE at COP29!
