Beskrivning

Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.Images can play a key role in communication – but climate change imagery can be formulaic and narrow in perspective. Going beyond polar bears and wildfires, this book is a manifesto for opening up the visual discourse on climate.Rather than portraying scenarios that can be remote from many people’s lives, Saffron O’Neill shows how images can be powerful tools to engage viewers and enable them to connect different issues together. With engaging case studies and practical advice throughout, the book shows how visuals can represent climate change in more diverse, equitable, inclusive and responsible ways.

Recensioner i media

'This is essential reading for journalists, activists, scientists, communications people – in fact everyone involved in trying to raise awareness of climate change and drive progress towards solutions. All too often the potential power of imagery is forgotten or taken for granted. This book explains why that needs to change and what a difference it would make to have pictures at the heart of all we do.' David Shukman, London School of Economics and former BBC News Science Editor'Professor O’Neill asks vital questions about why certain visuals dominate when it comes to climate change communication. This book is a rare combination of academic analysis and commercial practice – an essential and accessible read for anyone invested in climate action.' Rebecca Swift, Getty Images
