LCOYBW 2025

LCOY Botswana 2025


Theme:
Just Transition – Ensuring an Equitable and Inclusive Climate Future

Local Conferences of Youth (LCOY) are official youth-led events affiliated with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). LCOY Botswana 2025 is a national platform designed to empower Botswana’s youth (ages 15-35) to engage in climate action, foster dialogue, and develop solutions for a sustainable future. 

This year, LCOY Botswana hosted by Sustain267 brings together students, activists, community leaders, and policymakers to address pressing climate challenges, such as floods, droughts, and the need for a just transition to a green economy. The 2025 edition, themed “Just Transition,” will amplify youth voices, prioritise inclusivity and inspire actionable outcomes to build a climate-resilient Botswana.
