The Action Plan Challenge
The Action Plan Challenge is IASC's annual competition where we encourage students part of our program to create action plans to diminish environmental pollution in their communities. These action plans will be surrounded around offsetting carbon in their school (e.g. planting a tree, creating an eco-club, etc.) Once IASC's team has chosen the winners, they will be aided by IASC's team to bring their action plan to life and will be given the title of "The Guardian of the Globe".
***Please Note: This challenge is only open starting December of 2021. ***

What is turned into the competition?
The action plan will be the work that will be turned into the competition.
Here are examples of the format and how the plan should look like (rules, rubrics, etc.) We aren't picky in terms of format, but only context!
What does the action plan consist of?
The action plan should consist of a plan to resolve or improve problems relating to this year's theme, air pollution, in the school. To keep it manageable, we encouraging focusing on not more than three themes at a time.
The action plan should include: the necessary tasks, the people responsible, and time frame for actions your team plans to take in order to achieve the goals/targets of combating air pollution.
Recommendations (students could make an action plan that involves something like a search) - We would encourage Ecosia, the tree-planting search engine, as the primary search engine for any technology. We would especially focus on using search engines like Ecosia in schools and workplaces;
How will the action plan be judged?
The action plan will be judged within the different chapters. So there will be one winner in the 3 different chapters. The rubric is currently underway and will be posted soon.

The purpose of this competition is to encourage our future leaders to start creating and thinking about climate change in school at an early stage, so once they are the leaders of our nations, they will be the most knowledgeable about these issues. Additionally, a fun friendly competition never hurts, instead it promotes teamwork and unity.
