YPARD Brasil Country Representative Heitor Dellastella has been selected by YOUNGO to represent the UNFCCC youth constituency at the seventh Global Environmental Facility (GEF), taking place from August 22-26 in Vancouver, Canada. Heitor is one of ten competitively selected YOUNGO delegates selected upon basis of their engagement in YOUNGO. At the GEF Assembly, Heitor will represent policy positions of YOUNGO for an improved enabling environment for young people to make an impact in climate mitigation and adaptation and biodiversity conservation for a just transition according to YOUNGO policy positions.
Are you interested in similar future opportunities? A great way to make a strong foundation is to contribute to the YPARD Policy Working Group (contact genna.tesdall@ypard.net to get involved), where we form substantive policy positions which feed into YOUNGO policy positions, but also other fora, all while learning more about policy-- from advocacy techniques to policy careers.
