We’re looking for proposals that are innovative, engaging and grounded in climate awareness, sustainability and community empowerment. While there are no rigid requirements, events that align with our Guiding Principles will be strongly considered:

• Courage & Integrity: Align your event with real climate action: through action, dialogue, or inspiration that meaningfully contributes to a safe climate for all.

• Inclusivity & Accessibility: Make your event open to all where possible. Reduce barriers, invite underrepresented voices, and foster a truly welcoming, diverse space.

• Localization & Relevance: Make it relevant to the Thai or Southeast Asian context to promote cultural resonance, regional relevance, and place-based climate engagement.

• Openness & Experimentation: Welcome new voices and ideas. Try unconventional formats that encourage creativity, learning, and inclusive climate engagement.

• Cross-cutting Benefits: Design events that support people, planet, and place - simultaneously creating cultural, social, and environmental benefits for all involved.

• Safety & Care: Ensure physical, emotional, and cultural safety through clear guidelines, supportive practices, and sensitive facilitation throughout your event.

No, only one submission is needed per event. Please list all partners under the “Main Organiser (s)” and “Collaborators” sections of the form.

Please submit each idea as a separate submission. This ensures that our team can review and evaluate each proposal on its own merits, giving it the focused attention it deserves. Submitting ideas individually also helps us better understand your vision for each activity and how it aligns with our program goals.

We prioritise representation across generations, genders, classes and lived experiences. Our open call and programming process are designed to centre community voices and intersectional climate leadership.

It’s simple, just submit your proposal through our website: https://www.bangkokclimateactionweek.org/get-involved. We encourage you to share as many details as possible so we can better understand your vision and support your participation. Just a quick reminder: BKKCAW is an amplification platform rather than a central event organiser. As a stakeholder-led initiative, each event is created and funded by the participating partners. We're here to uplift, connect, and showcase your work as part of a shared commitment to climate action.

Absolutely. BKKCAW is designed to be inclusive and low-barrier. If you have an idea, we want to hear from you, no fancy production required. We’re especially excited to support first-time organisers and grassroots initiatives.

Think of BKKCAW as an amplification platform rather than a central event organizer. As a stakeholder-led initiative, each event is created and funded by the participating partners. We're here to uplift, connect, and showcase your work as part of a shared commitment to climate action.

Anyone passionate about climate action is welcome to participate! This could be NGOs, grassroots initiatives, embassies, small and medium enterprises, international organisations, academic institutions, creative studios, individuals, collectives and more. If you have an idea that supports climate dialogue, education, or action, we’d love to hear from you! Please note that BKKCAW is an amplification platform, not a central event organiser. It’s a stakeholder-led initiative, which means each event is independently organised and funded by the amazing partners who take part. We’re here to support, connect, and spotlight your efforts as part of a collective effort for climate action.
