Campus Climate Challenge

If you are reading this, you are ready to begin the climate challenge on your campus. The challenge is simple — take action.

In recognizing that college and high school campuses are ideal places for youth to experiment and demonstrate their creative climate solutions, while also sharing climate solutions with other youth, IYCN is seeking to develop capacity of Campus Climate Changers across the nation, who would take up the Campus Climate Challenge, to reduce the carbon footprint and environmental impact of their campus as a climate solution and inspire other campuses across the country.

This can begin with an energy, water and waste audit of your campus — create a baseline. If you can’t find all the data, find what you can, and then move forward to what you can do. Calculate energy consumption, find a way to reduce it, and prove to your administration that your plan will work! We have already seen examples of incredible model schools. See some examples in our Campus Climate Challenge map below.

If you’re ready to start taking action on campus, please do tell us what you are doing! Join the Campus Climate Changers list, and get ready to Be the Solution!

We are scaling up the Campus Climate Challenge and are ready to take it to the next level. We want your campuses to be supported for installing biogas plants, for demanding solar water heaters, for doing energy audits and building retrofits. Please contact us at indiaclimatesolutions@gmail.com for more information about Phase 2 of CCC if you're ready to join the Climate Solutions Corps at your campus.
