About the Challenge
Empowering innovation through collaborative challenges that drive meaningful change and foster creative solutions.
Description
Chen Zhi Climate Action Challenge is a national program, in partnership with the Ministry of Environment and the Royal University of Agriculture, that empowers Cambodian youth (ages 18–30) to design and implement impactful climate solutions through a structured hackathon and implementation journey.
Participants receive mentorship, attend hands-on workshops, and compete for seed funding to bring their ideas to life.
