Photographing Climate Change: Images and Conversations About a Changing World

Climate change is considered one of the world's most pressing environmental issues. It's also one the gravest human rights issues. Photojournalist Greta Rybus has been exploring the issue of climate change by documenting the lives of people around the world and learning about how a changing environment has impacted livelihoods in desert, tropic, and Arctic communities. She'll share some images and conversations from the field, and stories that work to humanize climate data.

Support for the Ted Exford Climate Stewards lecture series is provided by Dave & Loretta (Exford) Hoglund. 

Greta Rybus is a photojournalist based in Portland, Maine. Originally from Idaho, she studied Cultural Anthropology and Photojournalism at the University of Montana. The majority of her work is portrait, travel, and documentary assignments for magazines and newspapers, with a special focus on human relationships with the natural world. She spends a month of each year in a new place documenting the ways climate change impacts different communities.
