Photographing the Climate Emergency: Iconic images of our changing planet

Photographers and photojournalists have kept us on the edge of our seats for decades as the climate emergency has evolved from “warming” to “crisis” to “boiling point”. In this visual guest lecture, award-winning photographer and documentary filmmaker Marina Dodis will talk us through some of the iconic imagery of the climate emergency so far, with a candid look at their backstory.

Join us for a fascinating talk as we discover who is in the picture, who isn’t, and why any of this matters.

Organized by UBC Sustainability Hub, Campus + Community Planning, School for Architecture + Landscape Architecture, and Emeritus College Photo Group. Part of Climate Emergency Week.
