The Paris YouthDeclaration 2027
The principal outcome of GYIS 2027 will be the Paris Youth Declaration 2027: a collective statement drafted, debated and signed by the delegates themselves. Every confirmed delegate participates in the drafting process and becomes a named signatory. It is also the city whose name is attached to the defining climate agreement of this generation: a youth declaration signed in Paris carries that weight.
