Background
According to the United Nation Environment Programme (UNEP), Myanmar is widely considered one of the most vulnerable countries in the world in terms of the impact of climate change. More intense and frequent floods, cyclones and droughts have caused immense loss of life and damage to infrastructure and the economy, putting Myanmar’s renowned biodiversity and natural resources under increasing pressure. Compared to many other countries in the region, Myanmar is currently much less prepared to respond to the challenges of global heating.
The United Kingdom hosts the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow, Scotland, from 30 October to 12 November 2021. To support COP26 ambitions, the British Council is working with partners worldwide to provide a platform for global climate co-operation, dialogue, and action.
‘Myanmar’s Hope for its Natural Environment’ is a photography competition to capture visions of a thriving natural environment in Myanmar. This competition is organized by British Council Myanmar in partnership with WWF-Myanmar. The aim of this competition is share positive images of Myanmar’s natural spaces that inspire others to conserve and improve them.
