Climate Photography

What can each of us do for the climate, for nature? Granted, there’s a wealth of information out there about actions each of us can take. But, for us to do them, we need to know and we need to care. So, we want to celebrate people’s actions in a way that informs and inspires others, using photography. To inspire others, our Climate & Nature Photography Challenge was a competition that aimed to get people to reflect on what they are doing or could be doing to be climate and nature positive, and to capture it in a single image. 

This year, the competition, initially focussed on Imperial students, but later expanded to the general public.  Participants had to submit their image into one of three categories: ‘Personally’, ‘Academically’, and ‘Professionally’, representing the various areas in which they could be climate and nature positive. 

SSCP DTP students and staff were given votes on their favourite pictures alongside Imperial's photographer Thomas Angus and Prof Ralf Toumi reviewed all publications.  Nathan Bashiri won first prize for 'The serenity at sea' first prize, and Charlie Towler's photo was voted runner-up.  See all all photo submissions below:-
