COP29
AYAFE Youth Organization, representing Service Civil International
The board members of AYAFE Youth Organization, representing Service Civil International (SCI), participated in the COP29 event as observers. During the event, they participated in the conference and discussion sessions on climate issues and closely followed the processes.
Although it focused on one main theme in general, the event was very diverse and dynamic. In the first days of the event, world leaders came together and held extensive discussions to increase ambitions and translate climate promises into concrete and sustainable economic results. This emphasized the importance of both different approaches and global cooperation. In the following days, the topics of the event expanded to a wider spectrum. Extensive discussions were held in areas such as the impact of climate change on the economy, steps that can be taken in the political sphere, the educational power of education in this issue, the correct direction of financial resources, as well as innovative initiatives of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). These discussions once again showed how important the joint cooperation of various sectors and a systematic approach are in the fight against climate change. Special attention was also paid to food security issues during the event. This problem was assessed as a global challenge that is deepening due to the impact of climate change. Extensive discussions were held on the extent to which the food production and supply chain is resilient to climate change and the risks that may occur in this area in the future. The potential of global warming to lead to productivity declines, land degradation and water shortages was particularly emphasized. Various proposals were made at the event to solve these problems, including the application of innovative approaches in agriculture, more efficient management of water resources, and the application of farming methods that are resilient to climate change.
In addition, renewable energy sources were one of the main topics of discussion as a way to combat climate change. The importance of expanding the use of sources such as solar, wind and hydropower was emphasized. The importance of applying new technologies to reduce the carbon footprint in energy production and increasing energy efficiency was noted. The use of renewable energy sources presented broad prospects for not only combating climate change, but also organizing economic development on a more sustainable basis. In addition, the event emphasized the importance of strengthening innovative solutions and public-private sector cooperation in this area. It was proposed to create an important basis for both the sustainability of the economy and the protection of human well-being by applying technological developments in the field of energy optimization and food security. The participants of the event agreed that these problems cannot be solved without global cooperation and joint efforts.
Exhibitions, interactive sessions and platforms for exchange of ideas held within the framework of the event gave participants the opportunity to look at the issue from different perspectives and discuss real solutions. In addition, practical recommendations were presented on smarter resource management and carbon footprint reduction in accordance with the principles of sustainable development for future generations.
At the end of the event, the participants developed joint strategies for joint cooperation and sustainable solutions. COP29 once again revealed the importance of joint action and responsibility against climate change on a global scale.
