Ahead of GLF Climate 2022, which brought together thousands of attendees online and in-person alongside COP27 in Sharm El-Sheik, Egypt, the Global Landscapes Forum held a photo competition to showcase different perspectives on climate change from around the world. Hundreds of photos were submitted, resulting in a shortlist of 36 images that were put in front of our professional judges and discerning audience.
