The Green Rising: Through a Fresh Lens
Youth photography and stories on living in a time of a changing climate.
Highlights
‘The Green Rising: Through a Fresh Lens’ photo book was produced by twelve talented young storytellers, aged 15 to 24 years, after a four-month journey through which they reflected on their experiences of how a changing planet is changing their lives. Guided by EPA Images Senior Visual Correspondent, Kim Ludbrook, the participants honed their photography and writing skills to capture the specific impact of the climate and environmental crisis on children, youth, and their communities. This powerful body of work gives the agency to young people, who are on the frontlines of today’s climate and environmental crisis, to tell their stories through their eyes. The project was a collaboration between the young climate advocates from four provinces across the country, with support from UNICEF South Africa, the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights Regional Office for Southern Africa, Maverick Citizen and EPA Images.
