Visit the exhibition

This touring exhibition is part of our work with The Climate Group and involves photography from the Magnum Photographic Agency. It will be visiting cities across the globe through 2005 and 2006.

What is the exhibition about?
The exhibition pictures real examples of our changing climate and the effects can be clearly viewed in many countries with images of extreme weather events; trends in arctic ice cap thickness; observed glacier retreats; poor urban air quality; environmental refugees; lack of available water; and impacts on biodiversity. The exhibition also looks at energy efficiency; renewable energy; fuel cell technology; combined heat and power plants; effective public transport systems; carbon capture and storage; carbon offsetting; and emissions trading. Finally, it looks at people; the faces and voices that are making a difference to our changing climate.

What makes this exhibition special?
Ten of the world's top photographers from Magnum Photographic Agency were commissioned to capture images from ten diverse countries around the world to illustrate the impact of climate change. These photographers were also asked to chronicle the range of solutions to reduce carbon emissions in communities from the north, south, east and west of the globe. This has produced some inspiring images, which detail the resourceful ways in which these communities have adapted.

When can you visit the exhibition?
The exhibition opened in London, March 2005. It has now begun its journey around the world, visiting many countries simultaneously including Italy, Bulgaria, Portugal, Germany, Russia, Brazil, Belgium, Norway, Korea and South Africa over the next few months.
