Official Page

The Youth Policy Dialogue on COP31 is a one-day, in-person exchange in Brussels on 1 October 2026. The European Commission and the European Economic and Social Committee organise it with the European Youth Forum and Generation Climate Europe.

Youth organisations and young representatives from across Europe will discuss climate-policy priorities with the European Commissioner for Climate, Net-Zero and Clean Growth. The exchange is intended to bring youth perspectives into the EU’s external climate action before COP31.

Benefits & funding

  • Selected participants join a structured policy exchange at the European Commission’s Berlaymont building in Brussels.
  • The dialogue covers priorities connected to mitigation, adaptation, transition, climate finance, and follow-up to the Global Stocktake.
  • The official pages publish no cash award, stipend, travel reimbursement, accommodation support, or participation fee; this record therefore classifies the opportunity as Free rather than funded.

Eligibility

  • The published open call addressed people representing a youth organisation at local or national level.
  • The organisers describe the participants as youth organisations and young representatives from across Europe.
  • No exact age limit, nationality list, residency list, education requirement, or work-experience requirement is published on the official pages.
