STUDENT CLIMATE ACTION CONFERENCE

SCAC 2025: Registrations open now!

The Climate Project Foundation is proud to announce the launch of the Students’ Climate Action Conference 2025, a flagship initiative under the Green Campus Programme. This unique conference aims to bring together school students from across South Asia to explore, understand, and act on pressing local climate issues. Designed for students aged 12–17 years (classes 6th to 12th), the conference offers a platform to amplify young voices and foster climate leadership at the grassroots level. As part of the competition, participating students will be required to identify a climate-related issue in their school campus or local community, and conduct in-depth research to better understand the problem. This may include surveys, interviews, or community engagement activities. Based on their findings, students will work on implementing a small but impactful solution, and submit a 3-minute video documenting the process and outcomes of their action. Guided by a coordinating teacher, this experience will empower students to think critically, act locally, and share their stories of change. To recognize outstanding efforts, students from the top 5 schools in each of the 5 zones of India will be selected and rewarded at special zonal conferences, celebrating their commitment and contribution to climate action.
