2021 Showcase: Now or Never! Let's Act for the Future of the Earth!

Compared with previous programs on themes related to the global environment, many of this year’s entries focused on the urgent dangers now facing the planet. With climate change and environmental destruction accelerating, and flooding and wild fires increasing more and more around the world, what measures do we need to take?
