One Planet, One Chance

Magnum Photographers

Rich countries are already preparing public health to deal with future climate shocks. For poor countries it is much harder: they need international support to adapt. We are drifting into a world of adaptation apartheid.

I'm from Germany. as i saw your vidoe first, i was so confused, because those pictures had such a strong point of view. But after watching your film the second time, i understand; we, all of us, have to work against climate change and have to take care and responsible of our environment and also of our fellow men! hopefully a lot more peolpe see your video to understand the danger of climate change better, than we do today!and i also hope, that the state authorities also know about and see this video. Our planet is just one and i thank you, the video-maker, to make the whole situation of the worlds climate change so clearly! best wishes, Laura

I¨m Colombian, and I hope that this video go across the planet, to see if this will make the people conscious about their destructive acts, and change. We have to something, or we are going to die, when this planet already finished at all. We have time, just start for us, and for sure we will recover the green planet again......well I hope so. ¡God help us to understand that we have to change and care about ourselves and our planet!

Simply great. You have proved that pictures can speak a thousand words! Very strong message, excellent editing and fantastic backgroud score. Lets all do a little, lets all think different for the sake of our 'only' planet. As Dalai lama put it there are no demarcations from space. Lets all be the citizens of earth and not citizens of countries or continents.

very moving video essay. i hope that this can be widely distributed. everyone is now experiencing the effects of climate change especially in the less developed countries where communities are most vulnerable and where "adaption" is a word not heard of. NOW is the time to collectively act as HUMANITY... not only for the future but for TODAY and immediate tomorrow. Let's save our planet... and save our lives!

If we looked down at the world from space, we would not see any demarcations of national boundaries We would simply see one small planet, just one. Dalai Lama I love this quite:)

Wow, if we could get everyone in the united states to watch this just one time, maybe you guys could change the world. It's amazing people like you that need to put into the presidents position and stuff like that.

This essay is a very seductive call for the advanced countries of the world to commit collective suicide by reducing their collective carbon footprint to that of those countries already impoverished into a brutal parody of life in the Stone Age. Climate change has been a fact of life for millenia, and the thought that man can alter what Nature has had in motion since time began is a gigantic bit of eagotistic posturing. The glaciers have advanced and receded multiple times, did the Neandethals in their slaughter of the wooly mammoth somehow cause this to happen? The advanced nations of the world would better serve their third world cousins by sharing how technology can assist farmers to grow more healthful crops, by making people less likely to settle in flood prone regions, and by removing governmental interferences from the many ways that resourceful individuals can augment each others knowledge, for the betterment of all mankind.

Wow, this is definitely of the most powerful group essays Magnum In Motion has done. Well done, and a very noble use of the vaunted Magnum archive. Now how to get it seen beyond this site? This should be on television, in cinemas during the previews (like old newsreels), etc. Are you all pursuing anything like that?
