Beyond climate,
there are people.
When we talk about the climate crisis, we often focus on the environmental side of the crisis: rising temperatures, floods, and droughts. But behind these changes are people who are losing their homes, education, safety, and choices.
Ink for Impact started with one question: why do we talk about the climate crisis without talking about people living through it?
This question has led me to initiate a series of projects exploring climate change through people’s lives and storytelling.
