SEEKING THE BEST CLIMATE JUSTICE PHOTOGRAPHY
The 2024 Global Contest promotes climate justice. We believe climate change is a human rights issue, so we are looking for images that show people impacted by the escalating climate crisis. They include climate refuges, the very young, the very old, the disabled and injured, the poor, indigenous and island people, and women. Images of climate champions advocating for change, and those helping to mitigate and reverse climate change are welcome.
The 2024 Photography 4 Humanity Global Prize Competition is now open.

Photography 4 Humanity is an international initiative created with global partner United Nations Human Rights, that calls on photographers around the world to bring to life the fight for climate justice. Highlighting the most compelling imagery — illustrating courage, despair, hope, injustice, compassion, human rights failures or victories in ways small and large — the images serve to inspire people to personally get involved and to take a stand for human rights.
Photography 4 Humanity is the photography platform for the Right Here, Right Now Global Climate Alliance. Since the Global Climate Alliance was lunched at COP26 in Glasgow by United Nations Human Rights, and supporters that included Leonardo DiCaprio and Quincy Jones, it has emerged as the largest climate justice movement in the world.
