Niclas Svenningsen, Head of Sustainable United Nations, sais: “This is the first UN photo competition on sustainability and I am very excited to see just how creative the UN can get. I encourage all staff to take part and raise awareness on sustainability in the UN.” Entries will be judged by UN experts in sustainability and communications.
