Throughout the world, droughts, heat waves and floods are more and more frequent and longer. Sources of drinking water are becoming increasingly scarce, arable land more limited and livestock farming more constrained. Life, in all its forms, is increasingly under threat.
To remedy the media’s invisibility of these climatic phenomena, which are as deadly as spectacular natural disasters, Action Against Hunger invited four photographers to document these chronic threats in four different regions of the world.
Whether in Chad for Ferhat Bouda, in Panama for Catalina Martin-Chico, in Afghanistan for Andrew Quilty or in Kenya for Cyril Zannettacci, the photographers focus their author’s eye on the profound connection between people and their environment. Their photographs reveal, beyond the figures and studies, the human reality on the ground: individuals, families, social groups whose daily life and food security are durably but silently disrupted by climate change.
