Visualizing Climate Change

• This website and image library contains more than 1,000 climate change images, as well as links to videos, news articles, and background information on the Climate Visuals evidence base.
• Students learn how Climate Outreach uses outdoor photography to promote diversity, represent Indigenous people, and promote positivity and action against climate change.

Positives

• The images within this resource are emotionally impactful and are centered around people who are affected by climate change.
• The image library contains a search feature under the home tab to quickly find images within a certain topic.

Additional Prerequisites

• Downloading or obtaining images entails a brief registration process requiring email address, name, and country, and creating a password.
• It may be helpful to read "About Climate Visuals" before using the images to learn more about Climate Outreach and the climate visuals project.

Differentiation

• Provide students with the opportunity to investigate the seven core principles for climate change communication.
• Pair students up and have them choose an article in the "News" tab to read, then discuss new learning and write a brief summary.
• Under the "Climate Outreach" tab, have students watch the animated videos and then discuss new learning in groups.
• Since this resource aims to capture authentic images, as well as to represent Indigenous people, consider using these images to support another resource, such as Introduction to Indigenous Climate Solutions.
• Have students use the "Collections" tab to do a deeper dive into a specific theme, writing about observations and emotions experienced while viewing the images.
• This image library could be used to supplement a language arts research project on climate change or to provide people-centered visuals to bring other climate topics to life for students.
