About the NorthSouthEastWest exhibit:

Ten leading Magnum photographers have traveled to twelve locations around the world, capturing not only the impacts of global warming, but the solutions which are being implemented North, South, East and West to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases.  Their pictures show how climate change impacts people in a myriad of ways - affecting food supplies, economies, health and human rights, for example. The images show global warming is far more than just an environmental issue. 

The NorthSouthEastWest ( http://www.northsoutheastwest.org/) exhibition, created by The Climate Group, in partnership with the British Council, is touring the world over the next two years. For the British Council, NorthSouthEastWest is part of the ZeroCarbonCity campaign (http://www.britishcouncil.org/zerocarboncity ), a series of events aimed at reframing the international climate change debate by exploring the energy challenges facing the world's greatest cities.
