Find one environmental problem in your community. Lead real change. Become a Young Climate Hero. Open to students aged 7 to 15 across Pakistan.
Teacher mentors submit on behalf of their student or team.
Most climate education stops at knowing. This challenge is built around doing, so students finish with a project they led, evidence they gathered, and confidence they earned.
Students pick a problem they can actually see, from plastic waste to water loss, and take a measurable step to improve it.
Every project runs under a Teacher Mentor who guides the work and verifies that it is genuinely the student's own.
The top 15 projects reach a national final, where three winners take cash prizes, trophies, and national recognition.
Nine steps, one clear path. Exact 2026 dates are confirmed in the participant handbook.

Everything you need to know before you apply. If you meet the points below, you are ready to begin.
One student plans, carries out, and submits the project, guided by a teacher mentor.
A group of 2 to 5 students from the same school works on one project under a teacher mentor. One student is named team leader, and every member contributes. A team submits a single project.
Guides students, keeps activities safe, verifies that the work is genuine, and submits the application on the student's behalf. The ideas, the project, and the presentation stay the students' own.
Encourage participation, keep students safe, and give consent where needed. They support, but they do not complete the project or the submission.
Every submission moves through four stages and is scored against an official 100 point rubric.
CCC checks that the applicant is eligible, the documents are complete, and the rules are met.
Eligible projects are scored against the 100 point rubric. The top 15 become national finalists.
Finalists give a 5 minute presentation and answer questions for 5 minutes before the national panel.
Scores combine to decide the three highest scoring projects, named as national winners.
Judges reward measurable impact, not big budgets. Recognition is designed to travel with the student.
Cash prize, champion trophy, certificate of achievement, and national recognition across the CCC network.
Cash prize, trophy, and certificate of achievement.
Cash prize, trophy, and certificate of achievement.
Most student competitions reward what you can say. This one rewards what you can change.
Students aged 7 to 15, roughly grades 3 to 10, enrolled in a government school or registered low-fee private school in Pakistan. You can enter on your own or as a team of 2 to 5 students from the same school. Every project needs a Teacher Mentor.
No. Entry is free, and judges reward real, measurable impact rather than spending. Simple projects using local resources can score just as highly as large ones.
The Teacher Mentor submits the application on behalf of the student or team. This means no student needs an email account of their own, and one teacher can submit for several students.
Measurable impact, worth 20 of the 100 marks. Always show what changed because of your project, backed by before and after evidence.
A parent or guardian gives consent for each participating student, and the Teacher Mentor verifies the project. Photographs and videos are only used for non-commercial, educational purposes and only where that consent has been given.
The project and its story must be genuinely the student's own work. External tools may be used to check grammar or language, but this challenge is judged on real, verified action.
Choose your theme, run your project, and tell us the story of the change you made in your own school or community.
