ePOP - Petites ondes participatives, thefirst international network of environmental activists to show how people feel about the consequences of environmental and climate change, has launched its second video clip contest "Let's see how they feel". With this new edition, we are continuing our work to promote the human component in the environmental debate. The consequences of global changes are already perceptible and knowing how people feel is more than ever a necessity.  

Developed jointly by RFI Planète Radio and the IRD (Institut de Recherche pour le Développement), ePOP, an inclusive and participatory network, gives a voice to citizens and actors mobilized for the protection of the environment in order to transmit their voices and testimonies on video. Broadcast in the media and social networks, this voice is also regularly brought to decision-makers and scientists during regional or international events, such as the Conferences of the Parties on Climate.

More than 130 video were received this year from nearly 25 countries on five continents.

The selection of the winners was made by a jury of audiovisual, media and environmental professionals.
Congratulations to the winners and kudos to all ePOPers for their commitment and participation in this second edition!
