An exhibition featuring posters that explore the impact of climate change and how it is impacts people in countries including India and Pakistan has gone on display at West Ealing Library.
The Letters From The Global South exhibition, which is one until 23 February 2025, is a project by Zero Hour, the campaign group behind the Climate and Nature Bill and Muslims Declare, a group of Muslims concerned about climate change.
In a statement they explained the project: “We asked children, parents, teachers and climate campaigners around the world to tell us how the climate and nature crisis is affecting their lives.”
They added: “We received handwritten letters, emails, photos and drawings from children and adults living in countries and communities experiencing the very real impacts of climate change and environmental destruction.”
A spokesperson for Ealing Friends of the Earth who brought the exhibition to Ealing said: “The message could not be more timely given the government’s recent decision to expand aviation – one of the major sources of the emissions that are trashing the environment, and yet benefits only a small minority of the World’s population, eighty percent of whom have never been in a plane.”
After its display at West Ealing Library, the group said it plans to tour it across other locations in the borough.
