Capture your climate action! Enter photo competition
Are you passionate about climate action and making a positive impact on our planet? European Climate Pact wants to celebrate your efforts and announces the start of The Climate Pact Photo Competition! The European Climate Pact is a movement of people taking steps to build a more sustainable Europe. It’s a place to learn about climate change, develop and implement solutions, and connect with others for an even bigger impact. Photo competition aims to showcase climate action taking place all around you, in homes, communities and cities.
How to take part
Submit one photo and a caption that answers these questions: What climate action have you taken or noticed around you, in your home, community or city? Why does this make you proud or passionate? You could capture a climate-friendly part of your daily routine, climate action that someone around you takes, or a climate solution you’ve seen in your city. Get creative! We want to see all kinds of climate action – big or small!
