Media and communications researcher Julie Doyle uses case studies from science, media coverage, politics and popular culture to explore the gap between our understanding of climate change and our inaction on the problem.

The Human Face of Climate Change

Mathias Braschler and Monika Fischer. HATJE CANTZ PRESS: 2011. 144 pp. £26.99

Earth's climate is changing, and while experts discuss the possible consequences and politicians grapple with the difficulties of international negotiations, the impacts are already an everyday reality for many. In 2009, Mathias Braschler and Monika Fischer travelled to sixteen countries, taking photographs and conducting interviews with people threatened by climate change. This book shows the human faces and voices of those people.
