2025 GLOBAL PRIZE COMPETITION
The 2025 Global Contest champions the cause of climate justice, recognizing that climate change is not merely an environmental challenge but a profound human rights issue. We sought compelling images that capture the human face of the escalating climate crisis - climate refugees, the young and the elderly, the disabled and injured, the impoverished, Indigenous and island communities, and women bearing disproportionate burdens. Alongside these powerful portrayals, we celebrated the resilience and determination of climate champions - those advocating for change and those working tirelessly to mitigate and reverse the effects of this global emergency.
- The 2025 Global Prize Recipient will receive $5,000 USD
- The Global Prize Recipient, top 10 Finalists, and top 20 Honorable mentions will be exhibited globally via UN.org.
