Now in its eighth year, the Earth Photo Awards continue to harness the power of visual storytelling to highlight the pressing environmental issues of our time.

Founded by Forestry England, the Royal Geographical Society, and Parker Harris, the awards celebrate photographers and filmmakers who illuminate the realities of climate change. The 2025 winners include twelve striking images that blend artistic brilliance with urgent ecological themes. From rising seas to vanishing forests, each photo offers a poignant glimpse into the planet’s shifting landscapes and the lives affected. These images serve not only as artistic achievements but as powerful reminders of our responsibility to protect the Earth.
