Changing our ways: GLF Photo Competition

Share your best photographs to show us the changes you observe. Capture how people, communities and businesses are making a difference by switching their habits to tackle climate change.

Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) is headed to Kyoto where hundreds of international experts will explore how to win the race against global warming and build a climate-smart future. Challenging business-as-usual activities involves developing a roadmap to shift policies, industries and habits onto a sustainable trajectory. GLF and partners aim to inspire a global movement to get on track and showcase how changes are already happening across countries and landscapes. We are calling on you to fuel that inspiration through your photos.

Share your best photographs to show us the changes you observe. Capture how people, communities and businesses are making a difference by switching their habits to tackle climate change. We want to see innovative recycling, biodiversity conservation, food production, manufacturing and transportation initiatives. We are interested in transformative diets and lifestyles, plastic use and trade and supply chains, making the fashion industry sustainable and more.

Landscape Heroes

Submissions to this year’s Landscape Heroes are now closed

Check the top 5 Landscape Heroes here.

Do you know of anyone taking action to help achieve the sustainable future we keep talking about? Do you know a landscape hero? Across the world there are many unsung heroes, big or small, who take a stand for their landscapes and the environment. Tell us their story and bring to light the work of individuals, communities and organizations surpassing the hurdles towards sustainable landscapes and solving some of the environment’s most critical problems. Small or big, their ideas and projects are the fuel we need to boost the momentum for environmental action.

They might be restoring forests or finding new ways to secure food and improve nutrition; they might dedicate their everyday work to clean energy, reducing carbon emissions or developing alternatives to polluting materials; they might be scaling-up recycling schemes, empowering communities, protecting wildlife or cleaning up the oceans. Show us what are they doing and how are they changing the world for the better.

Send us a short story and a photo. You may also share a video and relevant links of your landscape hero’s work and we’ll put the most inspiring ones on the world’s radar, for a quarter billion people to see and vote on.

Why this matters?

This year for GLF Bonn 2018, we are focusing on how to move from commitments on paper to actions that bring a visible, positive change in the landscape and in people’s lives. And you can help us show global leaders in government and finance that action is happening at every level across the world, that solutions are out there and that scaling them up is not only critical, but possible.

Capture Africa’s landscapes through your lens!

Degradation affects about 50 million hectares of land in Africa, which now faces perhaps the toughest ecological test of any continent. But African people are rising up to the challenge, finding new ways to work together, adapt and innovate.

This year, the GLF Nairobi 2018 event aims to inspire action around Africa’s degraded landscapes by highlighting successful restoration stories on the ground.

Showing the diversity and complexity of Africa’s landscapes is key to driving this critical conversation and we need you!

Put Africa’s landscapes into the spotlight: be it the savannahs or mountains, wildlife or concrete jungles, human portraits, traditions or innovative restoration or your backyard! All angles are welcome.

The winner will walk away with a USD 500 cash prize and receive global visibility across digital and social coverage with due credit. We will showcase the winning photos at the GLF Nairobi event, held at the UN Environment campus and attended by policy makers, private sector companies, organizations, press, youth, and community groups.

Application process is now complete. Check out the photo applications and come back to vote starting 15th of August.
