Why it matters
A Network Already in Motion for Climate Action
As Singapore marks its Year of Climate Adaptation, GSG MCOP 2026 brings together students from across our global network to turn climate commitments into meaningful action.
MCOP 2026 Theme:
Adapt. Value. Restore. Repeat. 2.0
Adapt to change. Restore what matters. Value every voice.
Our 2026 theme calls on young people to respond to climate challenges with resilience and collaboration—protecting our planet, empowering communities, and ensuring every voice contributes to the solutions.
Building on last year’s MCOP, delegates will share the progress of their climate action plans while developing new ideas and partnerships for greater impact.
MCOP 2026 proudly supports the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, reinforcing our commitment to restoring nature, empowering communities, and creating lasting climate action.

GSG MCOP 2025 Report
Shaping the Future: Participant Insights
What last year’s delegates carried home
Through my participation in MCOP, I’ve learned that the voices of young people play a crucial role in shaping the global climate conversation. This experience has strengthened my leadership skills and deepened my personal commitment to environmental action—learnings that I will carry with me long after MCOP 2025.
– Varun Ghodke, OWIS Nanyang, Singapore
As I begin my new phase of studies at University, I want to focus more on the environmental relevance of my field so that I can one day contribute meaningfully and take part in a real COP.
– Ojiro Yahagi, GIIS Tokyo
The entire MiniCOP activity was filled with fun, creativity, and learning. We learned about different habitats, how animals adapt to survive, and the impact of pollution and climate change on their lives.
– Anirudra Singh, GIIS KL, Malaysia
