Share your photographs with us

In November 2026, the Laudato Si’ Action Platform will celebrate its fifth anniversary.

To help tell the story of these five years, we are inviting Platform participants around the world to share photographs showing what Laudato Si’ looks like in action.

We are especially looking for authentic moments of people:

planting or restoring ecosystems
caring for water, land, or biodiversity
praying or celebrating outdoors
teaching or learning
cleaning or reducing waste
advocating for their communities
working on farms, gardens, renewable energy, or other ecological projects
taking other concrete actions inspired by Laudato Si’

Please avoid staged group photographs or posed photos of people simply looking at the camera. We want to see your community doing the work.

Selected photographs may be featured in the Laudato Si’ Action Platform’s fifth-anniversary communications, including our anniversary publication, website, social media, newsletters, presentations, events, and related materials.
