Highway projects bring destruction to the rainforest and surrounding ecosystems in South America. One connecting Brazil and Peru is a case in point.

By Georgina Gustin

The two-lane Interoceanic Highway climbs from the humid flatlands of Peru’s Amazon rainforest upward toward the famed Incan city of Cuzco. Along the way, it serpentines across rivers, through clouds, past rocky hillsides stippled with grazing llamas and alpacas. The air at the very crest of the highway—at more than 15,500 feet—is so thin, everything seems to move in slow motion. 

Environmental policy expert and environmental justice champion Judith Enck says in a new book that it’s possible to move beyond society’s dependence on plastics, if we each play a part.

Hurricane Melissa left Jamaica reeling and as scientists tie its unprecedented power to climate change, people are wondering what comes next.

New findings show that some coastal regions will become far more acidic than scientists once thought, with upwelling systems pulling deep, CO2-rich waters to the surface and greatly intensifying acidification. Historic coral chemistry and advanced modeling reveal that these regions are acidifying much faster than expected from atmospheric CO2 alone, raising serious concerns for fisheries, marine ecosystems, and coastal economies.

Photographers Mathias Braschler and Monika Fischer capture the families, farmers and fishers who have been forced to leave their homes by extreme weather – and the landscapes they left behind. Introduction by Dina Nayeri

In 2009, Swiss photographers Mathias Braschler and Monika Fischer set out to document the people suffering the first shocks of the climate crisis. They had just returned from China, where rapid, unregulated development has ravaged the natural landscapes. Back home, though, the debate still felt strangely theoretical. “In 2009, you still had people who denied climate change,” Braschler recalls. “People said, ‘This is media hype.’” So the couple, working with the Global Humanitarian Forum in Geneva and supported by Kofi Annan, began The Human Face of Climate Change, a portrait series that showed the people on the frontline of a warming world.

Sixteen years later, climate change is no longer up for debate; the urgent discussions now revolve around solutions. Braschler and Fischer, too, have shifted their focus. “This is going to be one of the central issues for humanity,” says Braschler, “and we want to make sure that people know that the major effect of climate change will be displacement.”
