The World Bank has launched a youth competition, inviting solutions for climate-smart growth as Bangladesh and the World Bank commemorate 50 years of partnership.
The youth competition titled “IdeaBuzz Championship” asks willing participants to share innovative solutions on how Bangladesh can achieve climate-smart growth.
“As climate change worsens, dangerous weather events are becoming more frequent in Bangladesh. We must come up with locally led actions to protect our present and future” said Mercy Tembon, World Bank country director for Bangladesh and Bhutan.
“Through this competition, we turn to Bangladeshi youth to propose innovative ideas that will ensure climate-smart growth for Bangladesh.”
The submissions for the competition can be written in either English or Bangla as a PowerPoint presentation and a 3-minute video summarizing the idea.
The deadline for submissions is September 7, 2022. The top three teams will receive exciting prizes and will be featured on the World Bank website.
The contest is open to all undergraduate and graduate students of Bangladesh. More information is available at www.worldbank.org/bangladesh.
