An annual global challenge where students design, implement, and showcase real-world sustainability solutions—supported by a Stanford-led collective of leading educational institutions and experts worldwide.
The challenge began with a question: What might happen if we connected the energy already building on campuses around the world? In classrooms and labs, students were already building and testing solutions to local issues, using their campus as a living lab.
This shared momentum sparked something bigger — a global platform for students to take their ideas further. The Global Sustainability Challenge offers structure, visibility, and support to turn local action into collaborative progress. It’s not just about solving problems. It’s about shaping how the next generation learns to respond.
