For more than four decades, environmental photographer and filmmaker James Balog has documented the profound ways human activity is reshaping Earth’s landscapes and climate. In this talk, Balog will share striking images and film clips from his global expeditions, revealing the visible signs of climate change — from receding glaciers and rising seas to floods and raging wildfires. Drawing on his experience at the intersection of art and science, Balog invites us to confront the human story within the Anthropocene and consider how creativity can illuminate paths toward environmental sustainability.
This conversation is part of the Cornell Climate Impact Series, hosted by the The 2030 Project: A Cornell Climate Initiative and the Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability, in partnership with the A.D. White Professors-at-Large Program.
