The creative challenge’s main goal is to promote and raise awareness on topics concerning the role of biodiversity in our lives. Biodiversity is an issue on which The General Assembly of UNESCO has paid special attention since 2011, inaugurating a decade of activity called Living in harmony with nature (EU biodiversity strategy 2020). The protection of biodiversity is goal 15 of the United Nations 2030 Agenda.
