Dr. Stephen Sheppard shares Do-It-Yourself visual media tips to build climate awareness in your neighbourhood. Drawing on research from PICS, UBC, and elsewhere, Stephen will demonstrate how simple techniques such as climate change tours, dog-walkers’ photo-albums, neighbourhood mapping, and photo-shop futures can be used to connect where we live to climate change: its causes, impacts, and solutions.

Stephen is a Professor at University of British Columbia in Forestry and Landscape Architecture. His expertise includes climate change planning, visualization, community engagement and public perceptions. His latest book is titled “Visualizing Climate Change: A Guide to Visual Communication of Climate Change and Developing Local Solutions.”
