About Climate Solvers

Climate change is often presented only as crisis. Climate Solvers focuses instead on the people creating solutions. From scientists and engineers to farmers and entrepreneurs, this project profiles Australians who are reducing emissions, adapting to new realities, and showing that practical action is possible.

About the Photographer
