Connect4Climate is

a global partnership initiative for climate change communication, which was founded by The World Bank's International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the The Italian Ministry of the Environment, and the Global Environment Facility. Connect4Climate launched in September 2011 with a photo and video competition that invited African youth to share their stories about climate change, to be displayed at the 2011 United Nations Climate Change Conference.

Connect4Climate has since hosted several competitions. In 2012, Connect4Climate hosted Voices4Climate, a global competition for photos, videos, podcasts, and music videos on climate change. In 2013, Connect4Climate launched iChange, a competition for university students to enter 30-second videos to raise awareness on climate change. In September 2013, Connect4Climate announced that it would host Action4Climate, a competition calling for young filmmakers to share short documentaries on climate change impacts and measures to mitigate climate change or adapt to its impacts. The competition is judged by established filmmakers, such as Wim Wenders, Marc Forster, and Fernando Meirelles.
