Global Snapshot: Our Environment, Our World

Today, we wanted to share a global snapshot with you. This is the first in a new image series that we will share for the duration of the project.

Thanks to your contributions to State of the Environment, we can create a picture of our challenges and moments around the globe. Enjoy, reflect, and we look forward to those that are next to come.
