CLIMATE OBJECTIVE: I-CHANGE and UIF amateur photographers' alliance for climate

I-CHANGE addresses climate challenges by actively involving communities in environmental monitoring activities. The objective of the project is to empower individuals and communities to make informed decisions that reduce their environmental footprint, thus contributing to climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies. I-CHANGE equips individuals with tools, and sensors allowing to collect and analyze data to assess the impact of personal and community choices on the environment. The digital camera, in cooperation with the Unione Italiana Fotoamatori (UIF, https://www.uif-net.com/), has emerged as a crucial tool to involve the public and promote participation in climate change topics. UIF has enabled the participation of 176 authors and collected over 1500 images through photographic competitions: the result is a wonderful photography book ready to be downloaded for entertainment and educational purposes (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13928716)
