Indigneous photographers under 30 years old are invited to submit their images depicting a theme of climate change and climate action for the World Intellectual Property Organization photography contest.
Photographs should show the impact of climate change on a specific community, or Indigeous adaptation or mitigation to the impacts of climate change.
“Participation is meant to encourage Indigenous peoples and local community youth to express themselves on this issue of immense global significance,” the WIPO press release reads.
