Film4Climate video competition, special award for best entry from MENA region

The Film4Climate Global Video Competition has been launched. Young filmmakers from around the world, between 14 and 35 years old, are called to express their vision for a sustainable future by creating a short film or video about climate action.

Videos may be uploaded for the competition either through the Connect4Climate website or through film4climate.net.

The competition is the outcome of a partnership between the World Bank Group’s Connect4Climate program, the United Nations, Vulcan Productions, and the Italian energy company Enel. Other partnerssupporting the initiative include the UNFCCC, UN Sustainable Development, UNEP, The Global Brain, and the Government of the Kingdom of Morocco.
