The photography contest “The edges of the climate emergency” is one of the activities within the project titled “Climate, health and migration: culture as a driver of social mobilization”, promoted by ISGlobal and the Coordinating Committee of Senegalese Associations of Catalonia (CASC).

The aim of this contest is to collect and showcase photographs that highlight the causes and effects of climate change in Barcelona and the Sahel, one of the regions of the Global South most affected by its consequences.

The photographs may depict the impact of climate change, extreme or unusual weather events (such as extreme droughts, heatwaves, and floods), the interaction between climate change and nature, or the role of humanity in relation to the climate, including migration, both in the city of Barcelona and its surroundings and in the Sahel.

No professional photography experience is required to participate. The submission deadline is 16 May.
