Call for Creative Minds: Name Our New Regional Climate Project

We are launching a contest to create a powerful, inspiring name for a new regional initiative that will shape the future of climate-resilient landscapes in Central Asia. We invite you to propose a creative project name, ideally with a strong acronym and meaningful interpretation, that reflects resilience, regional cooperation, and transformation. The regional project aims to strengthen the climate resilience of vulnerable rural communities and transboundary ecosystems; restore grasslands and forests; promote climate-smart agriculture; support low-emission development pathways; and enhance regional cooperation and climate-resilient planning across Central Asia. Your proposed name should capture the spirit of people, land, and regional partnership in the face of climate change. Let your creativity help define a project that will unite countries, communities, and ecosystems under one powerful identity.

How to Participate

Please submit proposals to the email giz-kirgisistan@giz.de with the email title: Creative Minds: Name of the New Regional Climate Project.

2. The acronym (if applicable)
3. A short explanation (max. 150 words) describing the meaning, and relevance of the name

Deadline: All submissions must be received by January 15, 2026.  Participation is open to all ages from Central Asia. All entries should be submitted in English.
