The “Capture the Future: Global Youth Storytelling Initiative for People and Nature” is accepting submissions. The goal is to encourage youth to document local actions, traditions, and innovations that contribute to a more sustainable future.
Through photography and short-form video, the initiative aims to highlight both:
how communities living in biosphere reserves are addressing global environmental and social challenges
how talented young storytellers can capture the coexistence between people and nature through powerful narratives that inspire collective action for sustainability
The initiative reflects UNESCO’s commitment to empowering youth, as a way to contribute to the stewardship of ecosystems and communities. By focusing on biosphere reserves, the project highlights places where innovative solutions for people and the planet are already being tested.
