"This programme challenges our generation to come up with innovative projects to push climate action forward and will equip us with the leadership skills and knowledge to be a climate leader in our own lives.

"We already have the solutions to tackle climate change, it is about actually applying them to our current world and being empowered to make a difference in whatever way we can.

"Hopefully this programme will not only inspire us but also have a great influence on those around us."
