The Earth Photo 2024 winners have been announced

The Earth Photo 2024 Award, goes to Jean-Marc Caimi and Valentina Piccinni for their outstanding photographic series Tropicalia. The series documents the drastic effects of climate change on food sovereignty in Sicily. Through each subject, the artists share a story and ways of resistance and adaptation. 

As the island deals with desertification, flooding and rising temperatures local universities work on agricultural innovation, test weather resistant organic crops and tailor fertilisers to desertified land. The series also highlights weather-sensitive tropical fruit growers, where farmers are transitioning their crops towards mango, avocado and papaya plantations to turn the weather challenge into a new opportunity. 

Each inspiring image highlights important stories of resistance, innovation and resilience at the frontline of climate change, and illustrates how producers are adapting to tropicalisation, the series as a whole serves as an example of the future that awaits the whole continent.   

Don't miss the opportunity to see a selection of the winning and shortlisted works in stunning forest settings.
