Oxford Saïd Global Climate Change Challenge

Saïd Business School at the University of Oxford invites high school students (aged 15–18) and teachers worldwide to tackle pressing climate issues in the Oxford Saïd Global Climate Change Challenge 2025. Participants will develop innovative solutions or lesson plans focusing on themes such as air pollution, extreme weather events, food security, water scarcity, and biodiversity.​

Top student teams will present their ideas in Oxford in August 2025, competing for a place in the 2026 Future Climate Innovators Summer School. Outstanding teachers will showcase their lesson plans during COP30 in Brazil in November 2025, with the winner invited to an Executive Education Programme at Oxford in 2026. All expenses for finalists and winners are covered by Oxford Saïd, thanks to generous donors.​

Submissions are open from March 3 to June 30, 2025. Visit the official competition page for more details and to submit your entry.​
