"I think youth bring a different perspective from the people that will be here in forty years— the people who will deal with the results of climate change. I think we have a really special role and we have to fight for more space every time and we have to fight to be listened to. I think the role of youth here is is also to be here, but bring the concerns of that youth that couldn’t attend this event."

Londres va a llenar su mapa de puntos de recarga para smartphones denominados Solar Box, fundada por UnLtd, LSE Entrepreneurship y Siemens, cuya energía es solar a través de paneles y que incluye cuatro tomas. Estarán abiertas desde las 05:30 hasta las 11:30, 365 días al año. Y sí, serán gratuitas. La primera en Tottenham Court Road.

For ten years Camille Seaman has documented the rapidly changing landscapes of Earth’s polar regions. As an expedition photographer aboard small ships in the Arctic and Antarctic, she has chronicled the accelerating effects of global warming on the jagged face of nearly fifty thousand icebergs. Seaman’s unique perspective of the landscape is entwined with her Native American upbringing: she sees no two icebergs as alike; each responds to its environment uniquely, almost as if they were living beings. Through Seaman’s lens, each towering chunk of ice—breathtakingly beautiful in layers of smoky gray and turquoise blue—takes on a distinct personality, giving her work the feel of majestic portraiture. Melting Away collects seventy-five of Seaman’s most captivating photographs, life affirming images that reveal not only what we have already lost, but more importantly what we still have that is worth fighting to save.
