Visions of Life with Climate Change: Community Photostories from Namibia, Tanzania and Kenya

This report, published by ResourceAfrica UK (RAUK) in August 2011, is a compilation of photostories developed as part of community based climate change awareness activities. The booklet outlines ResourceAfrica UK's work bridging the knowledge and information gap regarding climate change and vulnerable communities, and highlights how photostories can be used as a climate change vulnerability assessment tool. According to the publication, photstories are an innovative, inclusive, and fun way of detecting community vulnerabilities. The photostories presented were instrumental in guiding RAUK's climate change communication interventions.
By engaging the community in sharing and expressing their livelihood needs and vulnerabilities through photographs, RAUK aims to give communities on the ground a voice that can be heard and taken up for discussion at the national and international levels. The photostories are also shared between communities with the help of RAUK’s partner organisations to provoke discussion on local adaptation strategies.
