This year's awards serve not only as a commendation but also as an inspiration for learners to engage in and address pressing environmental challenges.

According to Nomfundo Ndlovu, the Senior Programme Manager for Schools and Youth at WESSA, “These awards are a testament to the power of climate change education in building informed, proactive, and resilient communities. Through the Eco-Schools programme, learners across South Africa are addressing environmental challenges and driving change within their school communities that create sustainable impact. It is an honour to support and celebrate the leadership of our youth in shaping a better world.”
