Climate Action Education Projects
Promoting sustainability and quality climate education through local action projects.
Calling all learners: How are you increasing awareness about climate change? How are you taking action to reduce your carbon footprint?
If you have some great ideas and are looking for funding to grow existing or start new projects tied to curriculum expectations across all learning areas, you are encouraged to apply for a grant for your local project.
Grant funds per project will range from $250.00 - $2500.00. If the grant proposal exceeds the $2500.00 maximum allowed, then funding partners will be required.
These funds are available for Pre-K-12 student orientated action projects focused on reducing New Brunswickers carbon footprint and increasing awareness. Student-led initiatives are encouraged but require an educator as the liaison and applicant. If your project is selected, you will be required to submit a detailed budget, a timeline for your action project and agree to participate in the Climate Change Education Showcase.
While you can apply for multiple grants, it is possible that only one may be approved. Materials purchased must be specific to the original climate action grant; other fund restrictions may apply. Incomplete or late applications will not be accepted. Funds will be distributed through the district.
Funding will be given to interdisciplinary, student-led initiatives that focus on reducing the carbon foot print and must link to Sustainable Development Goals - (SDG) #13 (Climate Action) while making explicit connections with at least one of the following SDGs: #2 - Zero Hunger, #3 - Good Health and Well-being, #4 - Quality Education, and/or #11 - Sustainable Communities, #14 Life Below Water, #15 Life on Land.
You can access the application form here: Climate Action Education Project Grant Application 2021-22 (ASDN)
Application deadline is October 20, 2022.
A second round of applications may be considered, depending on the response. Please note that we would like to highlight the buy New Brunswick First policy and that all purchases should be as environmentally sustainable as possible.

Welcome to version 2.0 of the 20th year of Envirothon NB, New Brunswick’s High School bilingual environmental education program. The program is administered by Science East Science Centre under the direction of the Envirothon NB Provincial Steering Committee.
Each year, Envirothon provides more and more students with a chance to increase their knowledge and understanding of Canada's natural resources. Envirothon offers both in-class curriculum and field experiences (with a virtual twist for 2021) focused around ecology, natural resource management, and current environmental issues. This unique combination of learning experiences and breadth of study is part of what has made Envirothon a huge success with students and educators across the United States and Canada.
View the new 2021 Envirothon NB Brochure to help promote the program to colleagues and students. Find Envirothon NB on Facebook and Instagram for upcoming events, facts, trivia and shared content from our partners!
The Provincial Envirothon NB competition will be held virtually during the first week of May 2021. This year, the current environmental topic is Water Resource Management. Registration Forms must be received by March 1, 2021 - Download registration forms from the website. The highest ranked NB team of 5 will be given the first invitation to compete at International NCF- Envirothon (held virtually in summer 2021).
Virtual Workshops - Weekly Themes (February 8 – April 27, 2021)
We are pleased to offer a new weekly series of Virtual Workshops that will cover what is needed to know for the competition. The 50-minute online format will include themed information from Envirothon NB test writers and guest presenters plus an interactive activity to engage students while developing their Global Competency Skills and provide a time for Q&A on that subject.
The workshops are free to participate.
Students can sign up individually or as a team if they are permitted to be together. Teachers can also sign up their class for any session.
To participate, email me telling me which workshops you would like to receive Zoom links for and any handouts related to the session. If you, or your students are not able to attend the session at the time, not to worry, these sessions will be recorded and emailed to any team or teacher who requests them.
February sessions: English (9:40 – 10:30am – English; 1:10 – 2pm – French)
February 8, 2021 – Soil Forming Processes and Factors
February 9, 2021 – Watersheds and Water Systems
February 16, 2021 – Small Mammals of New Brunswick
February 18, 2021 – Forestry Identification and Physiology
February 22, 2021 – General Bird Identification
February 23, 2021 – Forest Management
Full Schedule is on the website.
Teachers - Become an Envirothon NB advisor!
Should you decide to participate in the Envirothon NB program as an advisor, you would act as liaison between your team and myself, the provincial program coordinator, Becky Geneau. With the cancellation of the 2020 competition, I am excited to return with Envirothon NB along with the support and collaboration from the Provincial Steering Committee. I encourage feedback from you, throughout the year, in order to give you and your students the best experience possible. Although this year looks a little different, we are all working together to continue to support and provide environmental education opportunities to you and your students!
Please feel free to contact me at 506-440-0228 or becky.geneau@scienceeast.nb.ca register for a virtual workshop, register a team for the competition or for more information.
Check out the Envirothon NB website often for additional resources, tips, facts, and extension activities that will be updated frequently.
