Abstract

As part of “Exploring Community Resilience and Human Development in the Context of Climate Change Adaptation in El Salvador and Canada” project, “photo voice” methodology was used to include and integrate the human dimensions of climate change into awareness-raising and adaptation planning for climate change. This Guide presents the pedagogy used, in a step-by-step overview. Using “photo voice,” an action research methodology, local people used photography to explore and share the meaning of climate change in their lives in practical, real ways.
