환경교육재단(Foundation for Environmental Education, FEE)이 주관하는 청소년 환경리포터(Young Reporters for the Environment, YRE) 2021 국제대회 결과가 지난 6일 발표되었다.

환경교육재단은 덴마크 코펜하겐에 본부를 두고 있는 비영리 국제단체로 블루플래그, 그린키, 에코스쿨 등 지속가능한 개발과 환경보호를 위한 프로그램을 운영한다.

환경교육재단의 프로그램 중 하나인 YRE는 만 11-25세의 청소년들이 환경에 관한 다양한 주제와 문제들을 살펴보고, 이를 해결하기 위한 실천적 방법들을 사진, 기사, 영상의 형태로 제작하여 우리 사회에 전파하는 프로그램이다. 지난 2~3월에 걸쳐 각국에서 개최한 국가대회의 수상작들을 대상으로 국제대회를 진행하였고, 지난 9월 6일 그 결과가 발표되었다.

특히 올해는 국내 출품작 중 하나가 2등을 수상하면서 더욱 눈길을 끌고 있다.
