It will be exhibited for one week, from the 13-20 October, on the Passerelle of the Palais des Nations, the United Nations’ office in Geneva.

The exhibition opening will be followed by a short ceremony attended by the Ambassadors of France and the Philippines.

The exhibition includes 21 photos from the book “Sixty solutions against climate change” and presents concrete solutions to mitigate climate change impacts.

Harnessing local and indigenous knowledge, which is the theme of International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction, is among the solutions that will be highlighted to reduce disaster impacts at the COP 21 in Paris in December.
