What is the

Changemakers World Cup?

Young people around the world don't lack the will to change things. They lack a pathway that takes them seriously. The Changemakers World Cup is that pathway.

CWC is a free competition open to every student under 18 — and you don’t need experience, a fancy school, or any funding to enter. Through the missions, you pick a real world problem and go after it — measuring what’s broken, intervening to fix it, and influencing others to follow you.

The Changemakers World Cup exists to remind that young people are not too young to lead and not too small to create change.

Your Journey

Three Missions.
One Problem.

Mission 1 > Top 500 move to Mission 2 > Top 100 move to Mission 3

Missions will be unlocked periodically. Mission brief videos of each mission will be live once the mission unlocks.

The 5 Tracks

Choose One. Follow It All the Way.

Cut the Waste #NoPlastic

Single-use plastics are everywhere — from snack wrappers and takeaway containers to shopping bags, water bottles, straws, and packaging. Explore how plastic is used around you, identify waste hotspots, and take action to reduce it in your school, home, community, or local businesses.

Did you know?

India is the 3rd largest plastic polluter in the world. Only 30% of India's plastic waste is recycled. The rest ends up in landfills, rivers, or burned openly.

Save Every Drop #StopTheDrip

Water is wasted in ways we often don't notice — leaking taps, overflowing tanks, inefficient irrigation, unnecessary consumption, and poor water management. Investigate where water is being lost around you and create solutions that help conserve every drop.

Did you know?

A dripping tap wastes up to 20,000 litres of water per year. India loses 40–60% of its piped water to leakage before it even reaches homes.

Eat Real #FixYourPlate

Our food choices affect our health, communities, and the planet. Explore issues such as food waste, unhealthy eating habits, processed foods, sustainable consumption, and nutrition. Discover how small changes in what we eat and waste can create a big impact.

Did you know?

India wastes 68 million tonnes of food every year. Ultra-processed food consumption among Indian teenagers increased by 2.5x between 2010 and 2020.

Wear It Again #DripDontDump

Fashion has a hidden environmental cost. From fast fashion and textile waste to clothing reuse, repair, upcycling, donation, and conscious consumption, explore how we can extend the life of our clothes and reduce waste.

Did you know?

The fashion industry produces 92 million tonnes of textile waste globally every year. It takes 2,700 litres of water to make a single cotton t-shirt.

Kill the E-Waste #EWasteOff

Old phones, chargers, batteries, laptops, cables, and gadgets often end up forgotten in drawers or discarded incorrectly. Explore the growing challenge of electronic waste, responsible disposal, repair, recycling, and how valuable resources can be recovered instead of wasted.

Did you know?

India generates 3.2 million tonnes of e-waste every year, growing at nearly 30% annually. Only 22% reaches authorised recyclers.
