During the COP-17 event in Durban I stayed in a very cheap hotel in Umgeni road and commuted by bus.
Leading up to 31 October 2011, communities across Victoria and other states of Australia will be passing a human sized earth globe from suburb to suburb and town to town until it reaches Canberra. This is the Earth Relay. The hope is that the relay will generate media and community attention along its passage to parliament and the Earth Dome will act as a symbol of hope and optimism for a cleaner, safer world.
Climate Action Moreland hosted a leg of the Earth Relay on Saturday 8 October from 11.30 am to 12.30 pm outside the Brunswick Mechanics Institute, corner of Glenlyon Road and Sydney Road, Brunswick. Members of Climate Action Moreland sent a message about how we think the carbon price can be improved, particularly increasing the 5% target.
Once the legislation is passed through Federal parliament in Canberra, the Earth Dome will be packed up and shipped to Durban for the Durban Conference of the Parties climate negotiations - COP17 - to be held in South Africa from 28 November - 9 December 2011, and with it will go our pride that finally Australia is acting on climate change and our hope that this will help deliver progress on climate change on the international stage.

Part of a portrait series to accompany a series of workshops by the CGIAR's Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) research program and the University of Oxford's Environmental Change Institute. The workshops seek to establish agricultural communities' priorities, their perceptions of risk, and capacity to adapt to whatever they identify as their most pressing challenges. At the beginning of this particular workshop, in Othidhe vilage, Southwestern Kenya, farmers were asked to to answer the question "What is important to you?". Similar workshops look place in 2011 in Ghana and Senegal, with more in 2012 in Vietnam, Laos and Nepal. More coming soon. For more information, contact n.palmer@cgiar.org. In case you missed it, UK newspaper, The Guardian, ran the pictures as a 12-photo set in December 2011, to coincide with Agriculture and Rural Development Day, a parallel event at the United Nations COP17 climate change conference in Durban, South Africa.

A ‘Mountain Day’ event was held on 4 December 2011 in Durban, South Africa on the sideline of the 17th Conference of the Parties (COP17) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). It is the first time that a Mountain Day was held in the framework of a UNFCCC COP. The event was organized by the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) in close collaboration with global and regional partners, including GIZ, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Mountain Partnership Secretariat, the World Bank and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). With more than 100 participants from all the mountains of the globe, the day was intended to highlight the need to preserve mountain ecosystems, which play a critical role in climate adaptation and sustainable development. A draft ‘Call for Action’ was prepared to convey this message of mountains regions to a broader audience.

Today, I hit two birds with one stone: One, I finally took the plunge and applied to Central Saint Martins; the reputable fashion school in London. I don't think I need to remind you of how exclusive it its, with alumni ranging from Alexander McQueen to Zac Posen - getting in is like trying to ask rioting civil society outside an COP17 Meeting to relax.
Anyway, trying to fill up the portfolio (which was a box I filled to the brim with my designs, which I burnt and spilled tea on to give it that respectable glow of age), I made 3 fabulous plastic + newspaper dresses and photographed them on three models, who proceeded to risk their lives and walk the ignorant and dangerous streets of Kimberley. Apart from being sworn at by idiots and hit on by even bigger idiots, I was pleased with the frames I got.
Besides, I had a brilliant assistant - "Lionel"; the local homeless man (I'm not even joking :/ )
Please go through the pictures, paying particular attention to detailing.
To help you understand the thematic intention of the shoot, the name was "Oh Lord, Save us from Materialism" and sought to show the 'blinding extravagence' materialism brings with it; especially in my socio-economic context where beauty is an illusion trying to hide the true shape Kimberley in, which is a barren and existential backwater where the only thing more stifling than the sun is the overt poverty.

In the presentation he delivered during Mountain Day, Olman Serrano, FAO Rome, discussed three adaptation
projects that took place in mountain ecosystems. Underlining their importance, he said: 35% of water in Chile comes from the Maipo Valley; 90% of the population of Central Asia relies on water stored in glaciers and snow; and in Uganda, the population density in mountains is more than double the density of the lowlands.

The participants were standing in solidarity with Africa and calling for drastic emissions reductions from the US and other developed countries, no carbon off-setting or carbon trading and no false solutions.

The hope is that the relay will generate media and community attention along its passage to parliament and the Earth Dome will act as a symbol of hope and optimism for a cleaner, safer world.
Climate Action Moreland hosted a leg of the Earth Relay on Saturday 8 October from 11.30 am to 12.30 pm outside the Brunswick Mechanics Institute, corner of Glenlyon Road and Sydney Road, Brunswick. Members of Climate Action Moreland sent a message about how we think the carbon price can be improved, particularly increasing the 5% target.
Once the legislation is passed through Federal parliament in Canberra, the Earth Dome will be packed up and shipped to Durban for the Durban Conference of the Parties climate negotiations - COP17 - to be held in South Africa from 28 November - 9 December 2011, and with it will go our pride that finally Australia is acting on climate change and our hope that this will help deliver progress on climate change on the international stage.
Leading up to 31 October 2011, communities across Victoria and other states of Australia will be passing a human sized earth globe from suburb to suburb and town to town until it reaches Canberra. This is the Earth Relay. The hope is that the relay will generate media and community attention along its passage to parliament and the Earth Dome will act as a symbol of hope and optimism for a cleaner, safer world.

Part of a portrait series to accompany a series of workshops by the CGIAR's Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) research program and the University of Oxford's Environmental Change Institute. The workshops seek to establish agricultural communities' priorities, their perceptions of risk, and capacity to adapt to whatever they identify as their most pressing challenges. At the beginning of this particular workshop, in Othidhe vilage, Southwestern Kenya, farmers were asked to to answer the question "What is important to you?". Similar workshops look place in 2011 in Ghana and Senegal, with more in 2012 in Vietnam, Laos and Nepal. More coming soon. For more information, contact n.palmer@cgiar.org. In case you missed it, UK newspaper, The Guardian, ran the pictures as a 12-photo set in December 2011, to coincide with Agriculture and Rural Development Day, a parallel event at the United Nations COP17 climate change conference in Durban, South Africa.
