The best eco-photos from the Environmental Photographer 2021 contest

The annual Environmental Photographer of the Year contest summed up the results and named the winners at the UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow. Some of the contest pictures bring tears to my eyes.

The Environmental Photographer of the Year contest, which has been held for 14 years, presents the most inspiring environmental photographs from around the world. The British charity organization CIWEM has announced the winners of the Environmental Photographer-2021 photo contest. See the bright works of the contestants and winners.
