Climate Change

I am the grant manager and visual editor of Cesura photo collective for projects related to environmental issues.

FISHERMEN AS CLIMATE ADVOCATES

Journalist: Stefano Liberti

Photographer: Francesco Bellina

Visual editor: Daria Bonera

A series of portraits of Mediterranean fishermen affected by climate change. The project is conceived as a journey across the Mediterranean, investigating the experience of human communities, the ecological condition, and the complicated relationship between man and nature. The Mediterranean Sea is in the middle of a deep climate crisis. Fishermen are experiencing a sharp decline in catches and an increasing presence of exotic species. Sea waters are warming faster than the global average, increasing the possibility of extreme weather events. They are testimony that climate change is happening, here and now, and that it is already having an impact on our lives, on our economies.

Project places:

Tunisia (Tunis, Gabès, Kerkennah Islands), Spain (Mar Menor), Greece (Samos), Cyprus, Croatia (Split), Italy (Mazara, Trapani, Palermo, Po Delta).

Stefano Liberti and Francesco Bellina have been invited to present “Hotspot Med” at the European Parliament in Brussels, hosted by MEP Alessandra Moretti (April 15th, 2024)

“Tropico mediterraneo”
by Laterza

The Mediterranean Sea is currently experiencing a profound crisis in which all the main contemporary problems are intertwined and highlighted: climate change, indiscriminate exploitationof natural resources, fossil fuel extraction and disorganized migratory flows. Stefano Liberti goes into the field to see what is happening to the Mediterranean, and to all the people who have always lived on this sea, and to learn about the courageous and very concrete initiatives that seek to reverse a course that is not a destiny

The Price of Our Gas

Photographer: Francesco Bellina – Cesura

Journalist: Stefano Liberti

In northern Mozambique, in the province of Cabo Delgado, a violent insurrection against the central government has been underway since 2017. Calling themselves al-Shabaab, the rebels are demanding a more equitable distribution of the proceeds of mineral wealth. In five and a half years the conflict has caused more than 4,000 deaths and one million displaced.

Between visits to refugee camps, meetings with self-proclaimed militias and interviews with experts, the text-photo report recounts the effects of the war, reconstructing the motivations and the role played by the international companies that came to extract gas in the African country.
