THEMES

ACT LOCAL, THINK GLOBAL

This year, our theme is “Act Local, Think Global” and we are specifically focusing on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 7, 12, 14, and 15.

The idea behind “Act Local, Think Global” is to encourage you to take action on environmental issues at the local level while also considering the global impact of their actions. By “acting local”, you can take immediate action to address pressing environmental issues in your own communities, while also contributing to global efforts to address these issues.

Your solutions

The health of the ecosystems that we and other species depend on is degrading faster than ever. So, are you ready to take on the challenge?

We are looking for projects that not only address pressing environmental issues at the local level, but also consider the global impact of their actions. We encourage you to think creatively and come up with solutions that are economically sustainable, meaning that they should be able to generate revenue and be self-sufficient over time.

We are eager to listen to you if you have a project idea that is in line with this theme.
