The NDC Youth Ambassador Summer 2026 Cohort, organized by the non-profit organization Care About Climate (CAC), offers young people the opportunity to contribute to the analysis of their country's Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. NDCs outline each country's commitments to addressing climate change.
