Artists play a critical role in generating dialogue about particular environmental issues.

Rewarding excellence in creativity as a tool to communicate the importance of conservation is the essence of these awards. The Green Leaf Awards are presented to artists whose works appear in the "Art for the Environment" exhibition, and demonstrate the featured environmental topic for each UN World Environment Day.
