Melaka, One Planet City Challenge

WWF-Malaysia is proud to announce that Melaka city has been awarded as the National Champion of One Planet City Challenge this year.

An initiative by WWF Sweden, OPCC is a biennial competition that aims to recognize and reward cities for developing infrastructure, housing, transport and mobility solutions to power the global transition to a low-carbon, climate-resilient future.

That’s not the only good news from Melaka! Under the Eco-Schools Melaka Programme (ESP) headed by WWF-Malaysia and Green Growth Asia Foundation, two schools have been awarded with Green Flag this year.

The prestigious award is internationally recognized and respected for schools with the best environmental education and management practices.

SMK Bukit Baru is the first Melaka Eco-Schools with students of #learningdisabilities (Special Education) who drove the school’s green initiatives to success.

WWF-Malaysia urges all schools including special education schools to adopt the ESP because it combines learning with hands-on experiences, runs according to an all-inclusive, real-life problem solving method, which involves students of different background and capacity, teachers and the local community at large.
