Every photograph tells a story—and some stories have the power to transform. The Greenstorm Global Photography Festival celebrates the wonders of nature, capturing the essence of our planet through breathtaking visuals.
Since 2009, we’ve been on a mission to create a world-class platform for nature photographers across the globe. It’s not just about showcasing their incredible talent but also about sparking conversations on environmental conservation.
Over the past 16 years, the festival has reached over 150 countries, inspiring 12 million young minds to see, feel, and care for our planet. This global movement has connected us with diverse cultures and ecosystems, paving the way for holistic environmental education.
In 2023, the 15th edition of the festival marked a significant milestone as Greenstorm joined hands with the United Nations G20 Global Land Initiative to host one of the world’s most prestigious photography competitions. As we celebrate the 16th edition in 2024, we’re proud to continue this impactful partnership, further amplifying our shared vision for conservation and sustainability.
Beyond visuals, the festival is a tribute to our planet's beauty and fragility—an invitation to join the conservation journey.
The G20, or Group of Twenty, is an intergovernmental forum for the world’s major developed and developing economies. It comprises 19 countries (Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Mexico, the Russian Federation, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the United States of America), and the European Union.
Collectively, the G20 accounts for 85% of global GDP, two-thirds of the world's population and makes up about half of the earth’s total land area.
