The UN SSE Academy facilitated a training on climate reporting for youth, which equipped participants with essential skills and knowledge to be able to produce and evaluate climate-related data from capital markets. The training program was organized by the official youth constituency (YOUNGO) of the UN climate agency (UNFCCC). 

UN SSE Academy Head, Tiffany Grabski, presented an overview of analyzing climate finance data and drafting reports on climate finance. Her presentation covered where to find climate-related financial data, what climate-related financial data is, and how to interpret and analyze this data. Following her presentation she spent time with the participants to answer questions and provide tools and resources to support their climate-disclosure journeys. 

The YOUNGO reporting training program had 2,200 global applicants, with 100 participants from 92 countries selected to participate. The training program consists of four consecutive weekly training sessions, with partners from UN and civil society organizations.
