Our city is being destroyed before our very eyes (“Minister bows to developer agenda”, April 6). While the rest of the world enacts green, sustainable and environmental regulations to enhance liveability, we’re throwing them out, leaving so-called “developers” as guardians of the evolution of our cities.

Americans of opposing political parties are sharply divided on how much they trust the news reported by national media organizations, according to a new Economist/YouGov poll. YouGov asked 1,500 Americans where they get their news from and how much they trust a variety of prominent media organizations and news anchors. The poll, conducted from March 26 – 29, shows that while Americans are more likely to trust than distrust many prominent news sources, there are very few organizations that are trusted by more than a small proportion of Americans on both sides of the political aisle.

“Welcome to the new, expanded and improved Climate Visuals website and image library – a unique and trusted source of evidence and images for over 350 climate change and environmental groups, journalists, educators and businesses. Climate Visuals, a project of Climate Outreach, has generated significant impactin catalysing a new visual language for climate change. We’re already moving ahead with three major new projects and partnerships for 2021, alongside the launch of this new and improved image library website. We’re now seeking new funding and offering partnership opportunities to take our activities even further. All too often, the climate change imagery the world sees is ineffective at driving change – it may be aesthetically pleasing and illustrative but not salient or emotionally impactful. Our Climate Visuals evidence base and experience proves that imagery needs to embody people-centred narratives and positive solutions, and must resonate with the identity and values of the viewer – not just environmentalists. Only then can we truly drive engagement and promote positive action against climate change. Based on international social research in Europe and the US, this unique resource offers seven core principles for effective visual communication, plus a library of images. Climate Visuals aims to strategically change the working practices of influential visual communicators across the world, to catalyse a new – more compelling and diverse – visual language for climate change…”
