Another tool in the fight against climate change: storytelling
It might sound strange to think of storytelling as a climate solution, but after spending five years documenting 1,001 voices on climate change in 20 countries, I believe one of the most powerful forms of climate action is to listen deeply to people already affected by the crisis.

Climate change is helping sink Mexico City

CDMX, as the city of 21 million styles itself, pumps more water from the aquifer below it than it replenishes: the city sank some 12Continue reading “Climate change is helping sink Mexico City”
