In November of 2020, we ran a two-week virtual youth-led conference to fill the void of COP26, which culminated with a global declaration to world leaders with 18 policy asks. In the second phase of our campaign, we worked to get the Mock COP26 treaty implemented, in part or whole, by as many national Governments or domestic states as possible in the build-up to COP26, where we were the youth partner in the first-ever Education Ministers Summit and showed our ‘My Climate Reality’ films . Following COP26, Phase 3 focused on continued lobbying for the implementation of the treaty and also the organisation of climate education-focused programs such as 1.5 degrees, Teach the Teacher and Teach the Parent.

In phase 4, we will continue to support delegates and volunteers to lobby their national governments to implement the Mock COP treaty, and to work on Mock COP grassroot campaigns in their country or region. We will also co-organise a Mock Education Ministers' Summit in August 2023 and push for more ambitious climate education commitments at COP28.
