WHAT IS THE MCOP?
Our roadmap to a sustainable future includes clear global goals—attaining the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, reversing biodiversity loss by 2030, and achieving net zero emissions by 2050. To meet these goals, we must transform our relationship with nature. Leading this transformation are young people, who can think creatively, reimagine the business-as-usual approach, and take bold action for nature.
WWF-India’s Model Conference of Parties (MCOP), first launched in 2020, is a simulation of the global Conference of the Parties under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD COP). The MCOP serves as a platform for young people to participate in environmental governance and conservation action. Through skill-building sessions and locally implemented projects, the MCOP fosters environmentally conscious, active citizens who can navigate real-world challenges and build a sustainable future.
