The essays
ZeroCarbonCity campaign

To accompany the NorthSouthEastWest exhibition, we have produced a book in partnership with The Climate Group.

The book features photographs taken from the exhibition and the photography for each theme is supplemented by brief essays from thought leaders and opinion formers. Together, they tell the story of these places and the effects of our changing climate. They show changing patterns in development and urbanisation; townships, islands, forests, seas and landscapes.

It looks at the threats that millions face to their food supplies, fresh water, health, culture and even the existence of their countries. But it also details a range of solutions; big and small ideas; some simple, others technically complex; but all positive steps in the right direction.

Below are the issues addressed in the ten chapters of the book covering a range of themes relating to climate change.
