Impact
Photography & Filmmaking
Creating awareness about climate change is the need of the hour, and one effective medium of doing this is through visual communication tools like photography and filmmaking. Films and photographs have the ability to engage us both emotionally as well as socially.
By incorporating climate change and other relevant themes into films, there is potential for the creation of a new dimension to the spread of scientific ideas by sparkling citizen interest and simultaneously inspiring audiences to further engage in broader discussions on the issue itself.
Citizen science or public participation in scientific research is a vital tool to engage all segments of society while also further the cause of developing research data and analyses about climate patterns and impact.
Wondering how you can be a part of a league of aspiring creators on a mission to protect the planet?
