Photographer Alessandro Grassani traveled three continents to capture the poignant testimonies of people on the impact of climate change in their everyday lives. From Southeast Asia to Latin America, thousands of people are forced to leave their homelands in search of a better life, after repeated disasters or irreversible degradation of the environment. The exhibition explores the complex links between environmental change, migration and local communities through pictures from Bangladesh, Mongolia, Kenya and Haiti. In addition, it presents to the public for the first time the maps from the Atlas of Environmental Migration (Editions Presses de Sciences Po and Routledge).
