UNICEF and Unsplash shape a Global Digital Future
We’re thrilled to announce a new collaboration with UNICEF Office of Innovation as part of the Unsplash for Good program. By using the power of Unsplash, we’re supporting the vision for an open, inclusive, and secure digital future for all.
Through its Summit of OUR Future campaign, UNICEF is raising awareness that:
- Digital inclusion unlocks global social impact.
- Young tech innovators and entrepreneurs are key architects of our digital future.
- With more funding and support, local innovation ecosystems in emerging markets can be strengthened to build impactful solutions to impact the lives of this and coming generations.
- For young people, ‘The UN Summit of the Future, is the Summit of Our Future’.
To help bring these messages to life, we’ve teamed up with three talented members of the Unsplash community (two 3D artists and an illustrator) who have created stunning artwork embodying these four themes. We hope these visuals not only grab your attention but also provoke thought and action towards a more equitable digital world.
Starting today, you’ll see these images featured prominently on the Unsplash homepage. They’ll also appear under relevant search terms and across our social media channels.
Our goal? To get as many eyes on these messages as possible, and reach 10 million views on these images in just 30 days.
‘Digital art helps engage new audiences on pertinent issues affecting our lives. Unsplash artists have helped depict digital equity and inclusion with simplicity and vibrance, helping amplify key messages that could lead to transformational change,’ said, Yemi Lufadeju, Communication Manager, UNICEF Office of Innovation.

About the Summit of Our Future campaign
At the 2024 United Nations Summit of the Future, agreements will be made on a Global Digital Compact (GDC), “the highest-level capturing of political will in terms of a comprehensive view of the digital world.”
Through the Summit of OUR Future campaign, UNICEF, together with partners and collaborators, continue to position young people at the heart of the consultation process and, alongside youth, call for collective action to unlock resources to build and strengthen ecosystems of young tech innovators and entrepreneurs in emerging economies.
This initiative is part of our Unsplash for Good program, reflecting our commitment to using the power of imagery to amplify important messages that resonate worldwide.
