From Photo District News: “Leaders from nations around the world are gathered this week in Copenhagen at a UN summit on climate change, and for a growing portion of the world’s population, an international agreement to address the problem can’t come soon enough. Shown here is an image from Jan Grarup’s recent story, “Darfur: A Climate Conflict.”
“Slightly removed from the organized chaos of the Bella Centre, the Climate Rescue Station is proving to be an oasis of calm and tranquility, a place of relaxation and reflection. Perfect, then, to host a new photographic exhibition to illustrate the impacts of climate change around the world.
