Port Moresby Nature Park marked International Day of Climate Action on October 24th with their inaugural Climate Science fair, held within the park itself. This event was made possible through a project funded by the German Embassy Australia, titled the Climate Change and Environmental Diplomacy Project, with the campaign theme "Love Our Nature Park, Protect Our Biodiversity." The project aimed to enhance green spaces in our community and raise awareness about environmental issues. One of the project's main educational initiatives was the Climate Science Fair 2024, which gave students a chance to learn about climate science and investigate ways to solve environmental problems. In order to raise awareness of environmental challenges and highlight creative solutions to climate change, the expo gave students a chance to show off their expertise and originality. Students from different schools came together at the Climate Science Fair to work together on coming up with creative solutions and ideas to counteract the negative effects of plastic on the environment. The topic of this year's event was "Maintaining Healthy Ecosystems in Urban Areas." We were delighted to host talented students from 6 different schools. Together, these children presented their creative concepts and answers to the world's climate problems. The participating schools included: Phillips Aravure Primary, St Charles Lwanga Secondary, Kilakila Secondary, Institute of Christian Academy, Koiari Park Secondary and Paradise College. The main objective of this event was to delve into sustainable solutions and bolster climate resilience in urban ecosystems. According to Nature Park, the level of innovation showcased by the participating schools was truly remarkable, leaving our judges thoroughly impressed. “It was truly inspiring to witness the dedication and creativity of these young minds.” “Students from Grades 6, 7, 9, and 11 formed teams and showcased their problem-solving skills in the realm of climate science.” At the end of Science Fair event, all participating schools were acknowledged with certificates and ribbons, with top performers in each grade level receiving shields and prizes for their exceptional contributions. Additionally, the announcement of the unveiling of the next 10 years of the climate science fair was made. This annual event will culminate on the International Day of Climate Action on October 24th, dedicated to raising awareness about the crucial need to address climate change. “We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the schools that participated in the Climate Science Fair 2024.” “Your unwavering dedication and innovative ideas have undeniably made a lasting impact on our community and the future of our planet.” “We eagerly anticipate your presence at the upcoming Climate Science Fair 2025, and we are excited to welcome even more schools in the years ahead as we collaborate to combat the detrimental effects of climate change.”
