The physical meeting of the Climate Change Network of the European Youth Forum took place on 3-4 October 2015. There were representatives of 7 member organizations of YFJ who gathered in Brussels to discuss the activities of the network.

The main aims of the meeting were to draft a resolution about the position of European Youth on climate change, which will be discussed and needs to be adopted during the upcoming Council of Members, as well as to share the plans for the Conference of Parties (COP21) which will take place in December 2015 in Paris. 

After the draft resolution was ready the participants also were asked to think of the upcoming actions of the network. Since the network was not created only for the work on the resolution and COP21, we thought of proposing more environmentally friendly meetings for the European Youth Forum. This issue will still be discussed among the members of the network.

Thus, the next steps of the network after the meeting are to coordinate the representatives of the Youth Forum at COP21 as well as to lobby for the resolution during the COMEM and afterwards.
