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. This Climate & Nature Photography Challenge is a competition that aims 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 content will then be used to inform and inspire others. 

This year, the competition will focus on students at Imperial; a set of people who are at important stages of their lives and careers, which means that inspiring them to be more climate and nature positive could have wide impacts. Participants will be invited 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. We hope to exhibit the shortlisted photos in an SSCP partner institution, such as the Natural History Museum, Kew Gardens, or ZSL London Zoo. The competition is expected to run from 1st April to the 1st July 2024 – and will have prizes!
