The Action4Climate video competition invites young aspiring film makers from all over the world to showcase their talents and create a 1 to 12 minute documentary about climate change. The aim is to tell a story that helps to raise awareness about climate change and reveals what local communities or individual people are doing to promote action, offer new solutions, and inspire change. The documentary should provide powerful insights into what is actually happening on the ground and greater understanding of what needs to be done to fight climate change.

ELIGIBILITY

The contest is open to young filmmakers from all over the world (individuals and teams of 5 or less) in two age groups: 14–17 and 18–35.
