We are at LCOY 2026🎉

07/10/2026

It starts today!

The 2026 Local Conference of Youth Sierra Leone opens at 10:00 AM at the Freetown City Council Hall. Over today and tomorrow (7th and 8th October), young people from across the country come together under the theme Inclusive Climate Action: Leaving No One Behind.

Climate action only works when every young person has a place in it, including those in communities that are too often left out of the conversation. These two days are for sharing ideas, building skills, and putting youth voices in front of decision makers.

LCOY Sierra Leone is officially endorsed by LCOY Global and is a project of YOUNGO, the official youth constituency of the UNFCCC. We thank our co-hosts and partners for making this possible.

All delegates are encouraged to be at Freetown City Council by 9:00 AM for supply of delegate materials and verification.

Today, we are pleased to joined the Bo City Library in celebrating World Literacy Day, under the theme “Literacy for People, the Planet and Prosperity.” For us, literacy is more than reading and writing, it’s the foundation for climate action. When young people can understand information about their environment, they become powerful agents of change, able to advocate for sustainability and lead solutions in their communities. We’re proud to stand with partners like Bo City Library in building a Sierra Leone where every young person has the knowledge and voice to champion environmental sustainability. Let’s keep learning, advocating, and growing greener futures together.

August 12th marks International Youth Day, a global celebration honoring the power of young people in shaping inclusive, resilient, and sustainable societies.

In commemoration of this year’s International Youth Day [IYD], we are hosting youth groups in Bo City for the Local Conference of Youth [LCOY] on the theme: Different Context, Common Aspirations.

The LCOY provides a platform to amplify youth voices on climate adaptation and resilience. Outcomes from the conference will contribute to a national position paper to be presented at COP 31, and will also inform the development of the national strategy on climate change and resilience informed by the realities of youth.

This engagement is part of a broad-based national dialogue to ensure young people’s perspectives and solutions are reflected in Sierra Leone’s response to climate change.

We're bringing you the biggest youth climate conference in the country.
We are uniting youth, government officials, civil society stakeholders, and policymakers under one roof for three days to discuss youth positions on climate change in Sierra Leone.

We are proud to have on board Forum for Agriculture, innovation and empowerment for Children and Youths as OFFICIAL CO-HOST of the Local Conference of Youth 2026.

The Forum for Agriculture, Innovation, and Empowerment for Children and Youth Sierra Leone (FAIECY-SL) is a youth led organization dedicated to fostering positive change in agriculture, renewable energy, and environmental sustainability in Sierra Leone.

FAIECY-SL focuses on transforming local communities through climate smart agriculture and climate education, working to build a future where farming practices, education, and conservation efforts all align to protect the country's environment.

The organization disseminates knowledge on climate smart agriculture techniques that help farmers mitigate the impact of climate change on their crops and livelihoods. It collaborates with government institutions, community stakeholders, civil society organizations, children, and young people to raise awareness of climate change through targeted education. It also participates directly in environmental conservation projects, contributing to a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable ecosystem for the communities it serves.

As a co-host of LCOY 2026, FAIECY-SL joins other youth-led organisations to strengthen the event's connection to farming communities and food security concerns often overlooked in broader climate conversations.

We are proud to have you, FAIECY.
