Invention can change the world!
The Child Rights International Network (CRIN) joined with Little Inventors and The Rights Studio to bring you the Climate Champions invention challenge.
Children must take part in climate and environmental decisions – they care, have rights and their ideas, passion and imaginations can inspire adults to urgently act to save our planet from irreversible destruction.
This collaborative project aimed to show that children's input should be actively sought and listened to on matters that affect their present lives and their future, particularly on the climate and other environmental issues.
This challenge helped children better understand climate change and encouraged them to use their brilliant imaginations to think of ideas to better protect the planet. The two challenge themes were: biodiversity and living more sustainably.
After uploading their inventions here, a selection of the most inspiring ideas were chosen to be brought to life! These ideas were showcased at events, including at the UN Human Rights Council, encouraging adults to listen to children and involve them in climate decisions.
Together we are helping ensure children's voices and ideas are heard and that adults make the right decisions to stop climate change and better protect our planet.
Participants chose from one of the two themes to help them think up an ingenious invention to protect our planet! The themes were: protect biodiversity and invent a more sustainable future. Every decision we make has an impact on the planet, from what we eat to how we travel. Our Climate Champions used their voices to raise their concerns and solutions and we got adults to listen!
