GYBN Youth Preparatory Meeting for CBD COP-12

Yesterday, 30 youth delegates from 16 countries attended GYBN's Youth Preparatory Meeting in Pyeongchang, South Korea.   We had educational sessions about the CBD Framework and decision making process, an overview of COP-12 agenda items, a presentation by Christine Von Weissacker about how to influence the CBD process, a panel discussion by Chantal Robichaud, Horst Korn, and Malta Qwathekana, and a team building session where we discussed our personal goals and goals for GYBN during COP-12 and how we would achieve them.
