In this series, from UN Human Rights Regional Office, Southern Africa (OHCHR ROSA): we hear from young environmental human rights defenders who took park in a project co-sponsored by UNICEF South Africa, OHCHR ROSA, along with EPA Images and Maverick Citizen to take look at climate change, climate action and climate justice through the eyes of involved young people. The result was The Green Rising: Through a Fresh Lens, a book and exhibition of photos taken by 12 young environmental rights defenders articulating what climate change and the environmental crisis means to them through photos. The participants were selected from across South Africa and were all either involved in climate and environmental projects or had a photographic background. The photos show various views of the same issue -- unless we do something, we may lose what we have.

Episode four: Kim Ludbrook

Kim is the senior visual correspondent for EPA Images, based in South Africa. A photographer with more than 30 years experience, he served as the mentor and chief editor of the images from the 12 participants in the project. He said it was heartening to witness the growth, commitment and enthusiasm of the photographers through the project and hoped they continue to bring their unique messages to a broader audience. He is interviewed by Kaylois Henry from UN Human Rights.
