A Seed to Climate Education: TREE Wins Policy Action Award for Green Learning Revolution

In a time when climate action feels urgent but often complex, TREE is sowing the seeds of change—quite literally. Our initiative, Education Tree – A Seed to Climate Education, has just been honored with the Policy Action Award by the Institute of Informatics and Development (IID). This recognition energizes our mission: to put climate education in the hands—and hearts—of the next generation.

At TREE, we envision a Bangladesh where every child plants and nurtures a tree each year. This simple yet powerful act is the foundation of our environmental education program. Through this, children don’t just learn about the climate crisis—they act on it, one seedling at a time.

The Six-Month Program: A Low-Cost, Self-Sustaining Model

This award-winning initiative is built on a four-part model designed for scalability and deep-rooted impact:

  1. Micro-Nurseries for producing low-cost saplings at the community level.
  2. Student-Led Plantation efforts, where children plant and care for trees in school premises or nearby lands.
  3. TREE Clubs & the Oxygen Literacy Program (OLP) to foster awareness, ownership, and dialogue around environmental issues.
  4. TREE Summit—a nationwide gathering to cultivate the next generation of green champions.

From planting over 100,000 palm seeds, to forming vibrant TREE Clubs and organizing high-energy TREE Summits, every activity is an invitation to learn, engage, and lead.

More Than Trees: It’s a Movement

This is not just about greenery—it’s about growing a movement. By placing a tree in every child’s hands, we are building lifelong stewards of the environment. Teachers, parents, and community leaders are also stepping up to support, creating a ripple effect that extends far beyond the classroom.

Our ultimate goal? To help spark a strong and transformative narrative—“Tree is Life”—and ensure that every act of planting and nurturing is seen as a celebration of life itself.

Join us. Support us. Let’s grow a greener tomorrow, together.
