The truth is, for most of us in the Global South, we feel the drastic effects of the climate and nature crises, and are acting now because we do not have the luxury of time to wait for any other person to do it! The time is now, and we are doing all we can. Be encouraged to keep doing your part as well. And for now, join our Global Ambassadors in their own words and photos, as they bring us closer to their landscapes this month!
En América Latina, aparte de los famosos gigantes de hielo en la cordillera de los Andes al sur del continente también tenemos glaciares en zonas menos esperadas: los trópicos.

“It is clear after the Pre-Summit that food systems play a major role in achieving the SDG goals for 2030. We have 9 harvest seasons left until 2030 and if any change is to occur, especially on a system wide scale, all stakeholders must come together and create policies that will span across all components of food systems, along all chains, and individuals.”
To inspire action across the region, our #PhotoChallenge takes on the warmth of our inspiring Global Ambassadors from Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, Tanzania, Rwanda, Egypt and many other African nations.
These photos inspire action from all of us, by showcasing the amazing landscapes, environments and actions young people are taking at the local level; and for you, we hope that these equally inspire you.
