The Generation for Climate ActioN (GenCAN) is a Leadership Challenge for schools initiated by HCLFoundation and CEE. This is a sustainability and climate change education initiative to engage schools with their teachers and students to communicate, collaborate and cooperate in learning about climate change to develop their own action plan for reducing carbon footprint.
Climate change is one of the most serious global challenges which requires urgent attention. It is critical to develop new skills, values and attitudes that lead to more sustainable and climate-resilient societies. Education plays an important role as the driver for change in building these.
Global temperatures continue to rise and extreme weather events become more frequent and severe, today's youth are particularly impacted by challenges posed by climate change. To confront these challenges, HCLFoundation and Centre for Environment Education (CEE) have collaborated on a national level initiative Climate Action Leadership Challenge tailored for schools, targeting grades 6-12. This initiative empowers educators and students alike with tools and techniques to foster climate literacy and action.
Schools empower young citizens with critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, and leadership skills which are vital for advancing climate action. Keeping this in mind, an exciting climate action leadership challenge is designed for schools under GenCAN initiative. It is an annual programme where schools are invited to engage a team of 5-8 students and teachers who further involve the entire school in becoming a climate friendly school.
