From classrooms worldwide to refugee camps in Jordan, the Burjeel Holdings-Oxford Sa\u00efd Climate Change Challenge has galvanized the global community, in a remarkable display of unity, to tackle the climate crisis<\/p>\n

Oxford\/Abu Dhabi, November 27<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/strong>The Burjeel Holdings-Oxford Sa\u00efd Climate Change Challenge<\/a>\u00a0has announced the finalists of its worldwide competition, with entries from 43 countries. The young people and teachers, whose ideas to tackle climate change have been shortlisted, will attend an award ceremony at COP28 in Dubai next week, to find out who will win a place to study climate change at the University of Oxford.<\/p>\n

The finalists distinguished themselves among more than 600 applications from across the world, demonstrating the passion felt by students and teachers globally, determined to tackle humanity\u2019s greatest threat. The response makes it one of the biggest global competitions to help tackle the climate crisis, specifically targeting this community. The entries were reviewed by a judging panel made up of influential thought-leaders, founders, CEOs and global entrepreneurs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

From piezoelectric crystals and artificial intelligence to entomopathogenic fungi to heterotrophs, the student finalists have embraced innovative solutions to some of the biggest challenges brought about by climate change. They will be presenting their solutions and lesson plans to judges in Abu Dhabi next week, ahead of the award ceremony at COP28.<\/p>\n

Professor Soumitra Dutta, Dean of Sa\u00efd Business School at the University of Oxford, said: \u2018The diverse range of applications from more than 40 countries, including entries from refugee camps, highlights the intense interest among school students and educators in tackling climate change. It also reaffirms the competition\u2019s role as a catalyst for driving innovative solutions, and giving young people agency in tackling the greatest challenge of our age. We should all be inspired by the finalists\u2019 entries and I look forward to the culmination of this challenge on stage at COP28.\u2019<\/p>\n
