Jordanian youth unite for climate change at Amman conference

AMMAN — Jordanian youth are calling for climate change to be recognised as an agricultural risk and encouraging society to view tackling climate change as an opportunity for growth rather than solely as a challenge.

Over 200 Jordanian youth from across the nation gathered for three days, from Monday to Wednesday, at the 2023 Local Conference of Youth on Climate Change (LCOY) held in Amman aimed at addressing the consequences of climate change and promotion of sustainable, green growth. 

The outcome of the conference, the Youth Statement on climate change, will be presented at the upcoming COP28 Climate Change Summit in Dubai.
