Climate change is a complex global problem that demands collaborative engagement. While students in higher education have long participated in climate action and some have attended the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) annual Conference of the Parties (COP) to learn about global climate negotiations, there has yet to be a coordinated effort to bring those students together to learn from each other and share their experiences; nor has there been a concerted effort to train students in how to interact directly with COP participants. By creating a multicultural and multi-institutional opportunity for students, the Pre-COP conference will become a launching pad for climate action and innovations led by youth at their home campuses, as well as on the global stage.The “Road to Glasgow Pre-COP Student Conference” (hereafter “Pre-COP”) will take place in Derby, United Kingdom, as well as virtually, October 28-30, 2021, immediately preceding COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland. The PIs leading this effort are from the YEAH Network, a transdisciplinary, multi-institutional, international Research Coordination Network for Undergraduate Biology Education that focuses on providing real world experience on environmental negotiations and policy for students in science and sustainability majors. The Pre-COP will prepare students in science and sustainability related disciplines to participate actively in, and contribute to, the COP26. First, students will be introduced to the culture and structure of international environmental negotiations and the COP processes. Second, interdisciplinary student teams will generate action plans within broad thematic topics with the goal of enhancing synergies between youth in higher education and international policy frameworks. Third, students will be guided to present these ideas at the COP26 via press conferences and presentations at side events (e.g., the U.S. country pavilion). Finally, participants will share the ideas generated at the Pre-COP as well as their firsthand experience at COP26 with their home campuses.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

气候变化是一个复杂的全球问题，需要协作参与。尽管高等教育的学生长期以来一直参与气候行动，并且有些人参加了联合国气候变化框架公约（UNFCCC）当事方（COP）的年度会议（COP），以了解全球气候谈判，但尚未有一项协调的努力，使这些学生团结起来，互相学习并分享他们的经验；我们也没有一致努力培训学生如何直接与警察参与者互动。通过为学生创造多元文化和多机构的机会，前专业会议将成为一个由青年在他们的家庭校园和全球阶段领导的气候行动和创新的启动垫，“通往格拉斯哥的公路Glasgow Pre-Cop学生会议”（以后的“ Pre-Cop”）将在英国的Derby，Anderiallyalliancy Copref，Meht Copref，Meht 3-3-30，在28--30上，始于28--30，始于28-30。苏格兰。领导这项工作的PI来自Year Network，这是一个跨学科，多机构的国际研究协调网络，用于本科生物学教育，该网络着重于为科学和可持续发展专业学生提供有关环境谈判和政策的现实世界经验。预科专门将为科学和可持续性与与可持续性有关的学生做好准备，以积极参与并为COP26参与。首先，将向学生介绍国际环境谈判和COP程序的文化和结构。其次，跨学科的学生团队将在广泛的主题主题中制定行动计划，目的是增强高等教育青年与国际政策框架之间的协同作用。第三，学生将通过新闻和演讲在附带事件（例如美国国家馆）在COP26上提出这些想法。最后，参与者将分享前COP上产生的想法以及他们在COP26的第一手经验以及其家庭校园。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子和更广泛的影响评估标准来评估NSF的法定任务。
