Would you like to take part in a project considering climate change by becoming a Climate Advocate?
The British Council wants to help younger generation to make a real and tangible difference before it is too late.

Challenge Europe campaign aspires to make a definite and lasting impact on the climate change debate and is ambitious in its aim to accelerate change to a low carbon future. The philosophy of the campaign is simple: to create momentum through collaboration, innovations, energy, drive passion, understanding and knowledge-sharing. 

In the Czech Republic, Denmark, Greece, Hungary, Finland, France, Northern Ireland / Ireland, Norway, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden and Turkey we are now looking for 15-20 young influencers from all walks of life to become Climate Advocates. Over the year each country team will work collaboratively to identify the key areas where they think they can make a real difference and to develop three concrete ideas to reduce carbon use.

If you are passionate about climate issues, get in touch with your your local country project manager and find out more details about how to get involved.
