Theme of the Year 2026 - 2027

Small worlds, big futures: stories from a pollinator-powered 2030.

In 2030, the places we live should pulse with the rhythms of nature: from schoolyards to urban parks, from farms to beaches, every space shared with pollinators and the invisible organisms that sustain life. To get there, change starts today.

Bees, butterflies, beetles and other quiet allies are not alone. All around us, lichens, algae, fungi and aquatic insects tell the story of our planet’s condition. They are silent witnesses to air quality and the health of our soils and rivers. Observing these “small worlds” means discovering the big stories that shape our future.

But the environment is about more than threats. It is also about acts of care, traditions of respect, collective projects and local successes. Everywhere, communities are protecting, restoring and finding ways to live in balance with nature.

Join the Movement and Share Your Stories!

This year, the Young Reporters for the Environment competition invites you to look differently, investigate closely and tell the stories of these hidden worlds, revealing what goes unnoticed in everyday life.

Your role? To bring these stories to light and show that young people can turn attention to detail into a vision for the future. Together, let’s turn today’s small worlds into tomorrow’s big futures.
