25th Anniversary Montreal Protocol Global Video Competition

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is launching a global video competition for young people to produce a very short video on the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, which celebrates its 25th anniversary in September this year.

The videos should highlight – in an engaging manner – any aspect of the Montreal Protocol and how its implementation has helped protect all life on Earth. It can focus on the local, regional or global levels.

Entries can use live-action, animation, on-screen text or a combination of all these, supported by a soundtrack.
