Are you familiar with the Young Climate Negotiators program? The Young Climate Negotiators Program trains young leaders, especially from the peripheries, indigenous, black and LGBTQIA+, to become effective climate negotiators, representing the perspectives of Brazilian youth in the Brazilian and UN Climate Agenda. In partnership with Rio de Janeiro’s Environment and Climate Secretariat, the first edition of the program trained 50 young leaders, from which delegates were selected for the Amazon Summit and COP 28 in Dubai.

Reinforcing the BRICS Policy Center’s partnership with the program, on September 28, BPC Director Professor Marta Fernández gave a lecture on the G20. The class was also attended by Susanne Wehrs, advisor to the Rio G20 Committee of the Rio de Janeiro City Council, and by residents of the program who are part of the G20 Committee.
