Beginning with the 16th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP16) in 2010, the ACS has helped select students receive non-governmental organization (NGO) status from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in order to attend the annual Conference of Parties (COP) and provide student outreach on climate change issues. The 2011 International Year of Chemistry (IYC 2011) played an especially important role in the initiation of the COP student-to-student engagement efforts, sparking a climate change discussion among students that continues to this day. This chapter will discuss the project′s foundation and describe the effort that enabled its launch, including the ways participants attend conference sessions, interview and network with other NGO personnel, and interact with government officials. The chapter will conclude with an overview of the project′s success and current outlook.
