This study looks at how a special 360-degree photo affects what people learn and how it is

believable they find a climate change message when it's part of a written news story. Researchers

compared the 360-degree photo to regular video and still photos to see what difference it makes.

They also considered if people already know about the issue, how much they care, and how

involved they are in it. The study, based on an online survey of 401 people, found that adding

360-degree technology to text-based news didn't help people learn more about climate change. It

also didn't affect how believable they found the message. These results were the same regardless

of people's prior knowledge, interest, or concern about the environment. This suggests that

adding fancy technology like 360-degree photos might not make much difference in how people

understand and trust information about climate change.

In a conference held by the YPCCC three renowned climate photographers, Steve Winter, Henry

Fair, and Tim Laman, talked with YPCCC Director Anthony Leiserowitz and the public. These

photographers shared their insight and knowledge from their work in the field and how they saw

climate change firsthand. They discussed the book "Human Nature: Planet Earth in Our Time" by

Geoff Blackwell and Ruth Hobday. The book uses captivating visuals with intelligent

information portrayed throughout the book. Their discussions covered three main topics. First,

one photo is worth one thousand words and the power that can have. Second, Location and the

importance of context and platform. Third, the two sides of photography, including the public

perceptions of environmentalism. They delved deep into these topics creating an awareness of

what climate change photography can do.

Visual climate change communication has become a large discussion in recent years. Climate

change is a huge discussion in the world today, science communication is a huge part of climate

change. This creates a visual conversation that can help prove or support scientific evidence. The

lesser-known part of climate photography is the producers of climate imagery. This article

interviews 20 photographers engaged in climate imagery. These 20 photographers discuss the

challenges of climate photography, strategies of climate photography and the impact that climate

photography has had in promoting climate engagement.

This is a study that looks at the responses to wildfire imagery and climate change concerns.

Images were shared on Twitter during California’s wildfires. This study looked at the response to

the images. The findings revealed three different perspectives on what evoked the most concern:

Catastrophic destruction, smoke escapes, and human or animal suffering. Looking at these results

there can be a selection of what visuals are pushed to the public to create a larger concern for

climate action.
