The Climate Change Documentary by Jakob Dall

The award-winning Danish photographer and journalist Jakob Dall exhibits his enormous photo series on people whose conditions of existence are currently threatened by climate change. Jakob Dall travels around the world to places most affected by climate catastrophes, places like Bangladesh, Uganda, Nepal and Bolivia. His photo reportage documents how these catastrophes affect people ´s everyday lives. Jakob Dall is a recipient of the EISA Maestro prize.

His new photos mainly focus on how individuals are affected by events we often only hear about in a macro perspective in the media. Through his photos of people from areas of conflict, disaster and crisis he wish to show the faces and realities of life in areas that need attention and help from the international community.

His harrowing pictures of drought and flooding in various parts of the world are not only documentations of the impact of climate change on living conditions and daily life for the people involved, they also help us to see this vast global problem as a humanitarian one and not purely a scientific one. He puts faces on the disasters and makes us realize that next time it might be us.

Exhibition running to December 23 at the Lyngby Library, Copenhagen
