COMPETITION THEME

Food security & climate change

We are thrilled to announce the launch of this year's international competition, centered around the theme of food security & climate change. Food systems are deeply affected by climate change and are also major contributions to it. Addressing food security is essential for achieving:

  • SDG2 Zero Hunger,

  • SDG3 Food Health and Wellbeing,

  • SDG 12 Responsible Consumption and Production

  • SDG 13 Climate Action.

    Food connects us all. This theme aims to inspire young reporters to explore the behind-the-scenes of food systems around the world.
