Yogyakarta, 30 September 2025–The Faculty of Social and Political Sciences at Universitas Gadjah Mada hosted the Global Humanities Alliance (GHA) Annual Meeting 2025 from September 30 to October 2, 2025. As part of the agenda, a selection of the best photos from the GHA Sustainability and Climate Change Photography Challenge, which had been held previously, were exhibited at the West Hall of the campus.
The Photo Challenge was conducted simultaneously and participated in globally by members of the academic community from the eight universities affiliated with the GHA, namely: Ashoka University (India), Mahidol University (Thailand), Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (Chile), Universitas Gadjah Mada (Indonesia), University of Manchester (UK), University of Melbourne (Australia), University of Nairobi (Kenya), and University of Toronto (Canada).
Through this photo challenge, participants are invited to explore and showcase various landscapes, natural environments, ecosystems, or phenomena affected by climate change and sustainability efforts, and visualize them from a unique perspective on humanities and social science issues. This initiative is one of the ways in which GHA and the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences at UGM promote the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goals 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), 13 (Climate Action), and 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
The selected photographs can be viewed in the West Lobby of the Fisipol UGM building until October 2, 2025.
