To find out, @TEDCountdown and @ClimateVisuals put out an open call to the world's photographers, asking them to show us the the real story of the climate crisis — both the impacts *and* the solutions. And wow! More than 5,500 photos from 185 countries were submitted, and today we’re excited to share the top 100! Here's a stunning image from photographer Shibasish Saha (@shibasishsaha.official), which shows people harvesting waterlilies during monsoon season in Bortir Bil, West Bengal, India. This beautiful wetlands ecosystem is particularly vulnerable to climate change, and it vividly represents what's at stake if we don't act now. To view all 100 photographs — which are all free for anyone to download and use (!) — go to the link in our bio. ⁠
