After more than 4 months, the first Yunnan Campus Individual carbon Footprint Research and Innovation Competition of "Zero Carbon Weekly" came to a close!

Thank you for your unique and novel research ideas to track and study individual carbon footprint on campus. I hope you can gain something from this project-based learning activity. Thank you for your careful response and feedback to every research report and point of view. Thanks to all of our support partners, Zero Carbon Weekly is a record of the coolest lifestyle.

Action action and more action ~~~, through the efforts of the contestants in the past few months, they have participated in three trainings, collected, analyzed and written the report on the campus personal carbon footprint data, and finally 6 teams stood out and held the online defense on January 21, 2022. So far, the competition has come to the end, specially invited experts formed a panel of judges and – based on the competition participation points, research report writing (blind evaluation), defense, carbon weekly record punching, and other comprehensive consideration - selected the first, second and third prize of the competition, and also announced  group and individual excellent participation awards.

Project introduction:

Yunnan Low-carbon Schools Pilot Project is funded by the European Union and implemented by the Fundación Pueblo para Pueblo (Spanish member of HPP) in cooperation with FAIHPP (Switzerland) Yunnan Representative Office, Yunnan Academy for Science and Technical Information, Southwest Forestry University, Chinese Youth Climate Action Network, Green Kunming (Kunming Environmental Popular Science Association) and  Kunming Good Deed Public Welfare Community Development Service Center with a project cycle from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2023. The project begins by increasing partners’ awareness and advocacy on climate change mitigation and environmental protection, by raising climate change awareness among 600 schools, 70,000 students and teachers, determine the emission benchmark through basic calculation, and then implement emission reduction work in 50 Carbon Compliant Pioneer Schools. Use science, technology, innovation and other means to respond to “climate action” to accelerate environmental sustainability and promote the transition from green campuses to low-carbon and carbon-neutral campuses.
