Greenstorm Launch
Greenstorm is launched by Organic BPS as part of its purpose-driven initiatives.
The Greenstorm Foundation is a global creative conservancy that advances climate and environmental action among youth through the power of visual storytelling. At its core, Greenstorm believes that photography is a universal language — one that can transcend borders, humanise environmental challenges, and inspire awareness and action.
Founded in 2009 by Dileep Narayanan, as a CSR initiative of Organic BPS, a brand consultancy specialising in purpose and sustainability communication, Greenstorm has evolved into one of the world’s largest youth-led nature photography movements. Its flagship initiative, the Greenstorm Global Photography Festival, has engaged over 12 million young people and 50,000 photographers across 155 countries, creating a powerful global repository of conservation imagery and stories.
Beyond the annual festival, Greenstorm’s work spans education, community engagement, exhibitions, and creative outreach programmes that translate environmental issues into relatable human narratives. Initiatives such as Ecotales extend this ethos into schools, using award-winning photographs and guided storytelling to build awareness, empathy, and stewardship among young learners.
In 2023, Greenstorm partnered with the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) through its G20 Global Land Initiative, aligning creative storytelling with global land restoration, biodiversity, and sustainability priorities. Selected Greenstorm works have also been showcased at major international environmental forums, reinforcing the Foundation’s role at the intersection of creativity, youth engagement, and policy dialogue.
A registered not-for-profit public trust in India, the Greenstorm Foundation continues to build global collaborations with governments, educational institutions, corporates, and civil society — with a singular purpose: to inspire a generation to see, feel, and act for the planet.

Greenstorm's impact extends beyond stunning photographs. We actively engage in a range of initiatives designed to educate, empower, and inspire.
Greenstorm curates global photography festivals and visual campaigns that document critical ecosystems, environmental challenges, and human relationships with nature. These initiatives use photography as a tool to build awareness, reflection, and long-term environmental responsibility.
Through workshops, student programs, creative contests, and outreach initiatives, Greenstorm works with schools, colleges, and communities to encourage learning through participation. These activities foster curiosity, dialogue, and environmental thinking beyond classrooms.
Selected works from Greenstorm initiatives are presented through online and on-ground exhibitions, publications, and global platforms. In collaboration with international organisations and environmental bodies, these exhibitions extend visual storytelling into policy, public discourse, and global sustainability efforts.
Greenstorm Foundation is honoured to partner with the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) through the G20 Global Land Initiative (GLI) for the Greenstorm Photography Festival. This collaboration highlights a shared commitment to addressing land degradation—one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. Through this partnership, the festival supports global efforts to restore degraded landscapes, combat desertification, and advance sustainable land management, aligning creative storytelling with international policy priorities.
