The new Climate Change Challenge is open to everyone aged 15-18

High school students from around the world are invited to submit their innovative ideas for improving the future as part of the Climate Change Challenge 2024. The challenge is organized by Saïd Business School and Burjeel Holdings at the University of Oxford and is open to two groups of participants: student and teacher teams. The task is to find a solution in one of five areas of climate change: air pollution, extreme weather, water scarcity, food security and biodiversity. Student teams can come from one or more schools, while teachers can contribute by creating lessons that raise awareness of climate change and inspire students to find solutions.

The finalists will have the opportunity to present their projects in Baku, Azerbaijan during the COP29 conference in November, while the winners will be invited to Oxford in 2025 to take part in a climate change program organized by the Saïd Business School. The costs of both trips will be covered. Applications must be submitted by September 15. See the challenges page for more information Climate Change Challenge 2024
