International Youth Cyber Environmental Forum

As part of The Greench, I worked with my partner to develop two environmental solutions, BEACON and BUEL, for the International Youth Cyber Environmental Forum. The competition involved considerably more than presenting an initial idea: we researched the environmental problems we wanted to address, developed our solutions through detailed written proposals, and produced a YouTube video to communicate how they could work in practice. We then entered a period of open evaluation, responding to comments, questions, and criticisms from others and refining and defending our proposals accordingly. Following the full process, The Greench placed 3rd overall and received the IUCN Korea National Committee Chairperson’s Award, together with ₩100,000 ($72.4 as of Aug 2026) in prize money. The experience was particularly valuable because it required us not only to propose environmental solutions, but also to communicate them clearly, respond to scrutiny, and demonstrate their feasibility.
