Cape Farewell Engagement
"What Cape Farewell has done is given us tools and experiences and wonderful media to take to television, press and radio, and the response we get from that is substantial. In public lectures I am able to use the imagery of Cape Farewell to get my message across. Without the images, climate change isn’t real enough. We can take our results and publish them in journals, and yes, our colleagues will see them and they are peer reviewed and solid, but they will only be read by, if we’re lucky, 1,000 people. We also need to get the message across to the wider public. If we can get our messages into the media, we’re talking to 100,000 people or 1 million people."
Dr Simon Boxall, Science Coordinator for Cape Farewell Media
Our ambition is to make our work as public as possible, to create a new bank of imagery and ideas to communicate the challenge of climate change.
We send back video, images and text from each Arctic journey available through our website and partner websites, we produce exhibitions and events to communicate our ambitions.
