The Earth Photo 2025 shortlist features 195 images and 8 videos from 40 global contributors, depicting the urgent realities of water scarcity, climate change, and environmental degradation. Among the selected works, a photograph of a boy on a dam in Tunisia symbolizes the dire water crisis, while another of an ancient ceiba tree reveals the impact of changing rainfall patterns. The series showcases stark visuals of mining's consequences, particularly in Chuquicamata, and glaciers suffering from climate change. These artistic narratives aim to raise awareness of the planet's profound transformations through creative expression.
One of the deepest open pit copper mines in the world, this abandoned miners' town has a cemetery that is gradually being subsumed by mineral ore extraction.
By anthropomorphising the glacier, the photographer invites us to bear witness to the cryosphere's beauty and its vulnerability.
