Register Now for Next Month's SimulationAbout YCNS: Why Negotiation Matters
The Challenge: Closing the Policy Gap
We address Sudan’s escalating climate risks—from catastrophic drought, floods, conflict—and the urgent gap in youth representation in policy-shaping. The decisions made today determine the stability of tomorrow.
The Methodology: Experiential Learning
"We turn theory into practical, high-stakes decision-making. Instead of reading about the UN, you become the negotiator."
The Outcome: A National Pipeline
The program builds a national pipeline of informed leaders who can translate global policy into local resilience and environmental peace.
