Climate change牛津大学赛德商学院-诺十气候变化挑战赛(中国赛区)正式发布
Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, in collaboration with Know+ is launching the Oxford Saïd Know+ Climate Change Challenge China region finals, inviting high school students and teachers across China to develop innovative solutions to tackle the world’s most pressing climate challenges.
The competition comes at a critical time. China has made remarkable progress in its commitment to combating climate change. For example, investments and efforts in green technology, such as renewable energy and electric vehicles, have not only helped reduce domestic carbon emissions but have also positioned the nation as a key global collaborator in the fight against climate change, according to International Energy Agency, 2024. However, challenges remain, including extreme weather events, water scarcity, and biodiversity loss.
牛津大学赛德商学院与诺十(Know+)携手合作推出牛津大学赛德商学院-诺十气候变化挑战赛(中国赛区)，邀请全国高中学生和教师开发创新解决方案，应对全球最紧迫的气候变化挑战。
大赛的推出恰逢其时。中国在应对气候变化方面取得了显著进展，根据国际能源署2024年报告显示，中国在可再生能源、电动汽车等绿色科技领域的投入显著。不仅减少了国内碳排量，更成为全球气候行动的重要合作伙伴。然而，极端天气、水资源短缺及生物多样性流失等挑战仍待破解。
The China region finals will be held in China in August 2025, with the winning student team and teacher advancing to the global finals. The student team will present their solutions at Saïd Business School while the winning teacher will showcase their lesson plan during COP30 in Brazil in November 2025. The winning student team and teacher in the global finals will be awarded fully-funded, in-person courses at Oxford, providing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to study at the world’s top-ranked university.
中国赛区决赛将于2025年8月在中国举行，获胜的学生团队和教师将代表中国晋级全球总决赛。学生团队将于8月底赴牛津大学赛德商学院进行方案展示，而获奖教师则将在11月巴西举办的联合国气候变化大会COP30分享教学设计。另外，在全球总决赛中胜出的学生团队和教师将获得全额奖学金的资助赴牛津大学进行深造，拥有一次难得的在世界顶尖学府学习的机会。
China has shown what can be achieved through ambitious policies and collective action, but the fight against climate change is far from over.
中国通过雄心政策与集体行动树立了典范，但气候变化的战役远未终结。
The regional finals are exclusively open to students and teachers studying in schools across China, providing a tailored platform for local voices to shine. Student teams (3–5 members), aged 15-18-years, will submit solutions addressing one or more key themes:
- Air pollution
- Extreme weather events
- Food security
- Water scarcity
- Biodiversity
Teachers, meanwhile, will submit individual entries in the form of detailed lesson plans on teaching climate change in their respective regions, with a focus on bridging the gap between education and action.
中国赛区面向全国各校就读的学生和教师，为本土的声音走向全球提供平台。参赛学生团队，成员年龄需在15-18岁，由3至5人组队，可聚焦以下一项或多项主题提交解决方案：
- 空气污染
- 极端天气事件
- 粮食安全
- 水资源短缺
- 生物多样性
参赛教师将提交个人作品，以详细的教学计划展示如何在各自地区教授气候变化议题，特别聚焦在弥合教育与行动之间的差距。
Paul Lin, Co-chair of the competition and Founder of Know+, expressed his enthusiasm: 'Our partnership with Oxford Saïd brings a unique opportunity for students and teachers in China to contribute to a global conversation while addressing local challenges. It is also an opportunity to develop global understanding and industry collaboration to this pressing issue through younger generations.'
大赛联席主席、诺十(Know+)创始人林子表示：'与牛津大学赛德商学院的合作为中国的学生和教师参与全球议题探讨、提出本土创新解决方案提供了一个独特的通道。这也是通过年轻一代来建立全球理解与行业合作、共同应对气候变化这一紧迫问题的机会。'
We hope this competition will empower young people and educators to lead the next wave of sustainable innovation and inspire communities locally and globally.
我们期待通过这一大赛赋能青年领袖与教育先锋，引领可持续创新浪潮，激荡本土与全球社区的变革力量
