YCCDL
The only self-owned youth climate network in Northeast China integrating on-campus Mock COP training, summer climate camps, COP observer delegation, Blue Zone side event hosting, a youth climate think tank, and international youth exchange — all within one comprehensive pipeline. Leveraging DLYCA's UNFCCC observer status, YCCDL builds a youth climate talent community across Dalian and Northeast China.
Three irreplaceable strengths that set YCCDL apart
Leveraging DLYCA's own UNFCCC NGO observer status with independent ORS registration quotas and SEORS Blue Zone side event application rights, members gain direct access to official COP Blue Zone participation.
Exclusive partnerships with local university environmental/IR institutes, top high school MUN clubs, and Changhai Island marine low-carbon research sites — forming a deep local talent and academic support network.
As DLYCA's own network, YCCDL can directly join the YOUNGO global youth climate system, sharing global resources and independently inviting side event guests worldwide.
※ YCCDL is an internal brand program of DLYCA. All operations, finances, and activities fall under the Dalian Youth Public Welfare Development Promotion Association, operating in full legal compliance.
