International Climate Champions is a youth oriented programme run by the British Council in partnership with The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI). This programme is part of British Council’s global project called ‘Climate Generation’ which is delivered through a network of Climate Champions across 60 countries and eight Regions. It is directly aimed at young people aged 18-21 and through them will engage leaders and influencers in the society, as well as reaching out to the wider community. Climate Generation engages young people with a proactive interest in climate change and wish to take positive action at local, national and international levels.
In the new initiative for 2011, youngsters from across India are invited to join about 150 International Climate Champions in the country to explore a gamut of opportunities to make a difference in the fight against climate change.
As a British Council International Climate Champion, you will raise awareness, address impacts through a project and contribute to the growing international consensus on the need to tackle climate change. The climate champions will be supported with training and guidance as well as opportunities but the ideas and time will come from the youngsters.
