School Climate Challenge

“Developing Climate Solutions within School Communities”

An Open Competition for Indonesian schools!

Today one third of the population of Indonesia is under 18 and this number is on the increase. At the same time the world that our young people are entering is becoming ever more precarious and vulnerable to environmental concerns and climate change. The role young people play in meeting these future challenges has never been more important.  British Council, together with  Ashoka, Pandu Pertiwi, and National Geographic Indonesia want the next generation to take responsibility as global citizens and actively engage in environmental protection and climate adaptation and mitigation.

School Climate Challenge is a competition that aims to encourage secondary school teachers and students in Indonesia to establish innovative, creative, and sustainable initiatives which both contribute to tackling climate change, and economically benefit their schools and communities.
