The photographs document impacts of and resistance to climate change and false solutions to climate change, spanning six continents and more than 25 years.

Some of these photographs document the harsh realities of climate change as well as the drivers and causes of this phenomenon, others show what is under threat but still remains. Many of the photos document protest – people confronting those in power who threaten the web of life on Earth by refusing to take effective and just action to address the causes of climate change or those who promote false solutions to climate change for profit.

One of the most important things I have learned in my life is that everything is interconnected.

One of the greatest influential environmentalists of the last century, David Brower said, “Ecology teaches us that everything, everything is irrevocably connected. Whatever affects life in one place—any form of life, including people—affects other life elsewhere.

At this point in history, life is out of balance. The Hopi word for this is koyaanisqatsi.

There is no magic bullet nor technological fix that will enable humans and other species to survive this crisis. In fact, La Via Campesina, the global movement of smallholder farmers is clear that there are “thousands of solutions to climate change” La Via brings together millions of peasants, small and
medium-size farmers, landless people, women farmers, Indigenous Peoples, migrants and agricultural workers from around the world to discuss, create and lift up these real solutions.

La Via Campesina states that these solutions are small in scale and are controlled by communities not corporations.
