Climate Change by NOOR is a long term group project that focuses on two issues. The first, Consequences by NOOR is a showcase for creativity in photography and an eyewitness record of the devastating effects of climate change around the globe. Produced in the autumn of 2009, these visual reportages show not what might happen in the future but what is happening today, emphasizing the urgency of addressing the issues at stake.

NOOR continued the project in autumn 2010 with an encompassing visual project investigating what is and can be done to slow down or reverse climate change: Solutions by NOOR. This focuses on human stories about alternative power sources, renewable energies, and attempts to alleviate, adjust or cope with the rise of global temperatures; the biggest challenge our world has ever faced.

Both projects have been funded with a generous grant from Nikon Europe BV.
