Are you a high school student (aged 15 to 18) or a teacher? If so we are inviting you to enter the Oxford Saïd-Burjeel Holdings Climate Change Challenge to help to tackle the climate crisis ahead of COP29, the United Nations Climate Change Conference. Through this global competition we want young people and educators across the world to contribute their ideas, and take action towards creating solutions to the greatest and most complex threat to humanity: the climate crisis.
The competition is based around five key challenges that threaten our climate:
air pollution
extreme weather
water scarcity
food security
biodiversity
The finalists will be invited to present their solutions to a distinguished audience in Baku, Azerbaijan during COP29 in November, and the winners will be invited to the United Kingdom where there will be given the unique opportunity to take part in a tailored climate change programme at Saïd Business School in Oxford in 2025, led by world-leading academics.
There are two ways to enter: as part of a team of students or as a teacher. On this page you will find full details about the submission guidelines, background on the five challenges and the judging criteria.
Student teams
Students to set out their big idea, explain their inspiration, show how they think it will make a difference and consider how their solution could be turned into a reality. Teams could include students from just a single school, or from multiple schools. Entries have to:
be from a team of three to five students aged 15-18
be submitted in the form of a 10-page PowerPoint presentation
include a video they have made, up to three minutes in length.
Teachers
High school teachers to set the agenda in the classroom with lessons that raise awareness among students about the dangers of climate change, and encourage them to think creatively about solving it. Entries have to:
be from an individual teacher
be in the form of lesson plans that integrate climate change awareness into their school’s curriculum
integrate interactive activities for critical thinking
show how they support students in creating real-world solutions to climate change.
All entries must be submitted by 15 September 2024.
