《籠》

朱治宇 9年級

在北京，繁榮的都市里，生活著一些經濟實力較弱的工人。他們的生活充滿了挑戰。本圖中，一位工人坐在一輛工程車里向外望著，身后的柵欄就像是籠，牢牢把他困住。他是誰的孩子，又是誰的父親。生活的壓力迫使他磨平了棱角，坐在簡陋的工程車里，看著車外的繁華，不知是否會在恍惚間看到窗外曾經迷茫又躊躇滿志的少年？

《風》

朱治宇 9年級

此照片拍攝于內蒙古自治區內的渾善達克沙漠——一處真正的無人區荒漠。此處較惡劣的天氣環境和氣候，風力十分強勁。把沙子用鐵鍬鏟起來，揚入風中，瞬間形成了獨特的造型，宛如一條巨龍在風中搖曳。過去，很少有人注意到氣候變化的影響。然而，這種變化正在悄然出現于城市周邊地區。很多的荒漠化現象的出現也一直警示著我們關注氣候行動的重要性。

《船、水、冰山、

石頭、企鵝，雪》

鄧貝易 10年級

這張照片拍攝地點是南極。我在山上拍這張照片的時候，親眼看見了之前在視頻里見過的冰川碎裂掉到水里的場景。由于全球變暖的原因，世界各地的冰川都在快速融化。這會導致海平面上升，最終淹沒城市。但是在淹沒城市之前，許多生活在寒冷地區的動物會比我們先失去家園。所以，及時阻止全球變暖和減少碳排放是必要的。不要讓這樣的美景最后只能封存在古老的照片中。

《植物中的大力士》

姜豫行 6年級

這張照片是我今年暑假在云南省西雙版納中科院植物園的熱帶季雨林中拍攝的王蓮。近幾年，我們身邊的氣候變化越來越明顯，今年的暑假尤其異常。采取氣候行動的關鍵之一就是加強對熱帶雨林的保護。然而，由于人類的破壞和氣候變化的影響，每年全球有1.2%的熱帶雨林消失。保護熱帶雨林已成為我們刻不容緩的任務。

《黑色二氧化碳》

李青邁 9年級

夏天訪問歐洲時，我看到兩根高高的煙囪向空氣中釋放黑色的廢氣。在照片中，氣體幾乎與空中的云朵融為一體。通過這張照片，我想表達市政燃燒化石燃料無處不在的現實。通過將照片從彩色調成黑白，我還想強調，如果我們不開始采取行動，我們的未來將會是黑暗和灰色的。

《草原風光》

董浩宇 8年級

這張照片拍攝于2024年7月6日的新疆風景區，畫面中6位騎手騎著3匹馬悠然穿過一片廣袤的綠色草原。草地在起伏的山丘間延展，遠處矗立著巍峨的山脈，構成了寧靜祥和的背景。馬匹在翠綠的草原上緩步前行，整個畫面充滿了寧靜與和諧的氛圍。這幅作品生動地展現了人與自然和諧相處的瞬間，騎馬穿越遼闊的自然景觀，不僅是一種身體上的活動，更是心靈的放松。

《停電時才會看到的影子》

鄧貝易 10年級

拍攝這張照片的時候我和我的家人正在美國海邊的一棟別墅里。當晚，因為暴風和輕微的海嘯，整個區域都斷電了。除了燈和灶臺不能打開，互聯網、沖水馬桶等現代社會的基本設施也不能使用。我們不能出門，也玩不了卡牌游戲，甚至吃飯的時候都需要用手機手電筒，附加鏡子反光來照明。我們又發現冰箱里的食物大部分都壞掉了。這種生活對于我們來說是苦不堪言的，但對于許多貧民窟的人卻是日常，他們甚至會面對更糟糕的情況。無貧窮作為第一個SDG目標是非常重要的，希望不要有任何人被迫過這種生活。但有些人生活在富裕之中對這些渾然不知。就像是墻上的影子，只有停電才能發現。

《教育的重要》

李預 11年級

這張照片是我在回母校蒲公英學校做志愿者時拍的，左側是一位老師教新生如何在學校里鋪床。我認為，提供教育不僅僅是教授學術知識，也包括教他們在社會上和各個方面如何做的更好。

《奔跑》

劉奕愷 6年級

沒有和平與穩定、安全與健康的生活，我們又怎能快樂奔跑在海灘上呢？

《希望你們健康平安》

陳冉桐 10年級

肯尼亞馬賽部落里的男男女女，看上去都是那么充滿生機，但其實他們生病后基本得不到優質的醫療服務，希望這里的政府可以加大本地人的醫療衛生保健福利。

《光伏屋頂》

范為 5年級 三里屯校區

位于西藏林芝地區的松贊巴松措林卡酒店，給我留下了深刻的印象。這里共有14棟客房、122個房間，每棟建筑都使用了光伏板屋頂，面積共計4622平方米，為酒店提供50%以上的電力。 為了拍到光伏發電設備，爸爸教會我操作無人機。透過無人機的鏡頭，我才能近距離觀察酒店屋頂上的光伏板——乍一看就像尋常房頂，與傳統藏式建筑搭配起來也很和諧。 用高原強烈的陽光發電提供清潔能源，大幅度減少了酒店對石油能源的依賴，這對環境和氣候有著非常積極的意義。

《高山上的牛》

侯云瀚 6年級

幾頭結伴的牛在茂盛的草地上玩耍，仿佛天空就是它們的心情，蔚藍的天空陽光燦爛。

《什剎海無拘的野鴨一家》

劉卓杭 3年級 三里屯校區

我和家人來到什剎海劃船。我們驚喜的發現，什剎海作為北京有著悠久歷史的古老水域，經過有關部門提高水質，推進水環境修復的努力，水質清澈，動植物生態也越來越好。當天，我們就偶遇了小野鴨一家人，自由無拘地棲息在這片寧靜健康的水域里。 愿每一個熱愛這片水域的人，都可以用實際行動維護它的水質，生態和美麗。

《艱苦的人》

張圣初 10年級

隨著城市化的發展，更多的人找到了屬于自己的工作以及安定的生活環境。可是位于香港中環這樣的經濟高度發展的街區，仍然存在著以收垃圾為工作的人。對比于背景中生活節奏極快的、乘坐巴士穿梭的打工人，畫面中在夜晚推著垃圾車穿梭繁華街道中的老奶奶略讓人心酸。對她而言，高額的物價以及過低的收入，讓她的生活舉步維艱，可能這樣的無助也只是生活的常態。就是這樣，她也義無反顧，日日夜夜地奔波在繁榮的街道中。

Cage

G9 Tony Zhu

Amidst the bustling metropolis of Beijing, lives a whole community of workers with relatively limited economic means. Their lives, however, are filled with challenges. In this image, a worker sits, gazing out from a construction vehicle. The fence behind him resembles a cage, suggesting tight confinement. Who is he? Is he someone's child? Is he someone's father? As he sits in the dilapidated vehicle looking out at the bustling world, we see that the pressures of life have worn down his edges. In moments of reverie, does he ever catch a glimpse of the confused yet ambitious youth he once was?

wind

G9 Tony Zhu

This photo was taken in the Hunshandake Desert of Inner Mongolia—a truly desolate area. The weather and climate here are harsh; the winds here are particularly strong. When sand is scooped up with a shovel and tossed into the wind, unique shapes are formed instantly – a giant dragon dancing in the breeze. In the past, few people paid attention to the impacts of climate change. The symptoms do not appear right away, and they usually do not disrupt urban environments. The emergence of desertification serves as a constant reminder of the importance of focusing on climate action.

Ship, water, iceberg, stone, penguin, snow

G10 Belle Deng

This photo was taken in Antarctica. While taking this photo, I witnessed the dramatic scene of ice calving into the water—something I had only seen previously in videos. Due to global warming, glaciers around the world are melting at an alarming rate. This will lead to rising sea levels, ultimately submerging cities. However, long before cities are flooded, many animals living in these cold regions will lose their homes. Therefore, it is crucial to take action to stop global warming and reduce carbon emissions. We must not let such beautiful landscapes exist only in old photographs.

The Hercules of Plants

G6 Peter Jiang

This is a photo of a royal water lily I took this summer in the tropical rainforest of the Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province. In recent years, the climate around us has become increasingly unpredictable, and this summer was particularly unusual. A crucial part of climate action is to emphasize the protection of tropical rainforests. Unfortunately, due to human activities and climate change, 1.2% of the world's tropical rainforests disappear each year. Protecting rainforests is now our top priority.

Black Carbon Dioxide

G9 Maimai Li

When visiting Europe in the summer, I came across two tall chimneys releasing carbon dioxide into the air. In this image, the gas going into the air is almost merging with the clouds. Through this photograph, I would like to express how municipal fossil fuel burning is all around us. By converting the color image to be black and white, I also want to highlight how our future will be bleak and dark if we don’t start taking action.

Grassland Scenery

G8 JJ Dong

This photo, taken in Xinjiang on July 6, 2024, shows six riders crossing a vast green grassland on three horses. The serene backdrop of rolling hills and distant mountains creates a peaceful atmosphere. It highlights the harmony between humans and nature, where horseback riding offers both relaxation and a sense of well-being, reducing stress and enhancing overall happiness.

Shadows That Can Only Be Seen During A Power Outage

G10 Belle Deng

When I took this photo, my family and I were staying in a villa by the sea in the United States. That evening, due to a storm and a minor tsunami, the entire area lost power. Besides being unable to turn on the lights and stove, we also couldn't use basic modern amenities like the internet or flushing toilets. We couldn’t go outside, and even playing card games was impossible. We had to use our phone flashlights and mirrors to illuminate our meals. We soon discovered that most of the food in the fridge had spoiled. For us, this experience was incredibly difficult; but for many people living in slums, this is just daily life, one which often can even be much worse. Addressing poverty as the first United Nations Sustainable Development Goal is crucial. I hope no one has to live like this. Yet some people, living in wealth, remain completely unaware of these realities. It's like the shadows on the wall—only revealed in the absence of light.

Weight of Education

G11 Mori Li

This photo was taken in my former school when I went back there to do volunteer work. On the left side is one of the school’s teachers, showing the new students how to make their beds. I think providing education means to teach people how to do better not only academically, but also in all aspects of life and in society.

Running

G6 William Liu

Without peace and stability, safety and health, how can we truly enjoy running joyfully on the beach?

Wishing Health and Safety for You All

G10 Terry Chen

The men and women of the Maasai tribe in Kenya appear so full of vitality, but in reality, they have little access to quality healthcare when they fall ill. I hope the local government can enhance healthcare benefits for the community.

Photovoltaic Rooftop

G5 Vivian Fan, Sanlitun Campus

The Songzan Basong TsorinkaHotel in the Nyingchi region of Tibet left a deep impression on me. There is a total of 14 buildings and 122 rooms, each featuring a photovoltaic panel rooftop, covering an area of 4,622 square meters and providing over 50% of the hotel's electricity. To capture the solar power generation equipment, my dad taught me how to operate a drone. Through the drone's lens, I was able to closely observe the photovoltaic panels on the hotel’s roof. These dark gray panels look as if they are ordinary rooftops, blending harmoniously with the traditional Tibetan architecture. Harnessing the intense sunlight at high altitude for clean energy significantly reduces the hotel's reliance on petroleum, which has a very positive impact on the environment and climate.

Cattle on the Mountain

G6 Sam Hou

A few cows are playing together on the lush grass; it’s as if the sky reflects their mood—brilliant blue and filled with sunshine.

A carefree family of wild ducks in Shichahai

G3 Brayden Liu, Sanlitun Campus

My family and I went boating in Shichahai. We were pleasantly surprised to find that, as one of Beijing's ancient water bodies with a rich history, Shichahai has benefited from efforts by relevant authorities to improve water quality and restore the aquatic environment. The water is now clear, and the ecosystem for plants and animals is thriving. We even encountered a family of little wild ducks, resting freely in this peaceful and healthy water area. May everyone who loves this waterway take action to preserve its quality, ecology, and beauty.

A Person Who Endures Hardships

G10 Joel Zhang

With the development of urbanization, more people have found jobs and stable living environments. However, in economically advanced areas like Central Hong Kong, there are still individuals whose work involves collecting garbage. In contrast to the fast-paced backdrop of workers commuting on buses, the elderly woman pushing a garbage cart through the bustling streets at night appears somewhat out of place. For her, high living costs and low income make life a constant struggle. A sense of helplessness may just be a part of her daily reality. Despite this, she tirelessly navigates the thriving streets – day and night.
