Background information

The acronym Teens4CAP stands for Teens for Climate Action for Peace. This Teens4CAP competition was first initiated and sponsored by The Blue Ribbon (TBR) Global with the support of UCSI Schools and UCSI Group SDG Secretariat Office in December 2020. This award is also supported by the Regional Center of Expertise Greater Kuala Lumpur (RCE GKL), a centre endorsed by United Nations University for promoting Education for Sustainable Development. It emphasizes SDG 4 Quality and Inclusive Education and UN SDG’s theme, “Leave No One Behind”. This year, TBR will again fund the National World Soil Day 2023 award. This year’s World Soil Day theme is "Soil and Water": a source of life. Click this Link for last year’s event.

We also look forward to relaunching the World Soil Day Asia Pacific Award 2023 this year. We anticipate collaborating with countries such as Singapore, Indonesia, Japan, Australia and Korea within the Asia Pacific region via the RCE Network and WWF Asia Pacific region. Students that participated at the national level will be invited to represent Malaysia at the Asia Pacific level next year.
