Overview
Competition detailsUnderstand what this Olympiad focuses on, who it’s for, and what to expect.
The International Olympiad on Climate Change and Environmental Issues (IOCE) 2026 will take place in the Sirius Federal Territory, Russian Federation, from September 20 to 29, 2026.
IOCE is an international interdisciplinary scientific competition that aims to attract the attention of young people to current environmental issues and encourage them to solve them. The Olympiad helps to improve environmental literacy, develop the creative and scientific potential of participants, and strengthen international cooperation in environmental protection.
The Olympiad consists of two rounds: a theoretical round (individual and team) and a practical round (field and laboratory) — held on different days.
Students aged 14 to 18 inclusive can participate in teams of two to five members. Each team can be accompanied by up to one leader and two observers (adults)
The Olympiad is being held for the third time. This year, it is being partially integrated with the Sirius International Negotiators Program, which is an intensive development program that prepares young specialists to act as UN climate diplomats and participate in real-world negotiation scenarios
