Climate change is a complex phenomenon and climate science can be intimidating to the layperson. What kinds of photographs advance the arguments of climate change activists and scientists? How do photographers illustrate the root causes of climate change as well as its impact on the environment? Panelists include photographers Balazs Gardi, Ed Kashi (VII), and Camille Seaman; and Gavin Schmidt, climate scientist and co-author of Climate Change: Picturing the Science. Moderator: Francesco Fiondella, Director of Communications, International Research Institute for Climate and Society.
