Global Environmental Education Partnership Youth Innovation Challenge - Saving Our Seas

Do you have an innovative idea about how to protect marine life? Or tackle marine debris? Or help coastal communities adapt to the effects of climate change? GEEP is excited to announce its 2023 Youth Innovation Challenge: Saving Our Seas! In partnership with the Taiwan Ocean Conservation Administration (OCA), this year's challenge provides an opportunity for young people ages 15–30 around the world to share their innovative solutions to protect marine resources and support people of all ages to be engaged stewards for marine conservation.

We're looking for solutions that are innovative, feasible, and informed by research. Winning solutions will receive global recognition and a $1,000 USD prize!

Benefits

All eligible proposals will be evaluated by a panel of experts working at the intersection of environmental education, community engagement, and marine conservation. A total of 15 YIC finalists will be selected and will receive the following benefits:

• An official YIC finalist certificate

• Recognition through GEEP, NAAEE, and other global partners’ websites and social media pages

• An invitation to a virtual dialogue with other YIC awardees in late 2023. This interactive dialogue will give awardees an opportunity
to share ideas, learn from new perspectives, and expand their networks.

We will select 3 winners from the 15 YIC finalists. Each winner will receive a $1,000 USD prize, in addition to all the benefits listed above.

Eligibility

The Youth Innovation Challenge is intended for young leaders and innovators aged 15–30. Your innovative solutions must provide a solution
to one of the following key areas, using environmental education as a key component:

• Marine biodiversity and conservation: Managing, protecting, and/or restoring marine biodiversity for its ecological, cultural, economic, or other values. This can include using education as a
key tool in establishing and/or managing marine protected areas (MPA) under the global 30 X 30 initiative (to protect 30% of Earth’s surface by 2030).

• Marine debris: Reducing and/or mitigating the effects of marine debris, including the monitoring, clean-up, and recycling of marine debris, and educating communities about how to address these issues.
