Scenes from the Climate Era

A mosaic of snapshots capturing how it feels to live through this historical planetary transformation. At the turn of the 2020s, the climate movement abruptly shifted into a new phase.
Governments and businesses suddenly escalated their climate commitments, while fossil fuel lobbyists swapped out denial for greenwashing tactics. New activist movements initiated a wave of direct action – property destruction, rent strikes and attacks on fossil fuel infrastructure.
In science journals and academic conferences, radical solutions were debated and tested which would have been unthinkable just a decade ago.
And everywhere, extreme weather and climate impacts hit harder and faster than expected. We’ve already hit major tipping points which have pushed us past a point of no return.

Through a series of 66 vignettes, Scenes from the Climate Era maps some of the strange and unfamiliar contours of this new world we find ourselves in.
