“This is a photo of Glencorse Reservoir on a frosty November day taken from behind the trees that line the body of water. The winter day was magnificent as you can see by the astonishingly blue skies perfectly reflected in the stillness of the reservoir. I have incredibly fond memories attached to this hike as well as the Pentland Hills generally, being such a close source of nature to a student at Edinburgh University. To me climate justice is embodied by this photo not only through the way it reflects the abundant beauty of nature at stake, but also through its duality of the two landscapes with one being the reflection, and how this points out the two options we have: to fight climate change and preserve nature or allow it to be destroyed by climate change.”

“I am a Spanish and English Literature student from London and I am passionate about nature, hillwalking and photography amongst other interests. I love visiting the Pentland Hills, of which the reservoir pictured in my entry is a feature of. I find it to be a great place to escape the business of university life and I really appreciate the green Scottish landscape having returned from the arid Catalan landscape after a year abroad in Barcelona. I am deeply invested in the future of the climate, how climate justice will prevail and Edinburgh University’s part in this.”
