Climate change has not been happing naturally but is the result of increasing human activities. By destroying rain forests, making our rivers filthy, burning fossil fuels, farming livestock and building factories and creating such vehicles that contribute to adding pollution, we humans are influencing the climate and earth temperature. Thereby, we might have to face the devastating aftermath of its in future. For this reason, the Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy has developed a “Climate Change Painting Competition” for 1 to 9-grade students.

The judges will select candidates for four award categories: Gold awards, Silver award, Bronze Awards, and Honorable Mentions.
