Coding for Climate Returns: Empowering Students to Code for a Sustainable Future

CLEARWATER, FL | March 3, 2025 – Today, Take Action Global (TAG) and EARTHDAY.ORG announced the return of Coding for Climate, a unique program that empowers students to use their coding skills to address the climate crisis. From March 17 to April 27, K-12 teachers and students worldwide will develop innovative tech solutions for a more sustainable future.

“Coding for Climate is more than just learning to code,” says Koen Timmers, Co-Founder of Take Action Global. “It’s about inspiring the next generation of environmental stewards and equipping them with the tools and knowledge to create a positive impact on our planet.”

This free, month-long global collaboration will provide teachers with access to a wealth of resources, including lesson plans, coding challenges, and project ideas. Students will have the opportunity to develop creative solutions to environmental challenges, such as creating apps that track renewable energy usage, designing websites to raise awareness about climate change, or developing data visualizations to communicate environmental data.

The program will conclude with a celebratory C4C Earth Day Live event on April 24th from 8-10am ET, open to all to join as we celebrate teacher and student achievements.

Coding for Climate will begin on March 17th and culminate in a global showcase of student projects.
