Climate Camp 2008, Kingsnorth

Radical Images photographers are going to cover the Climate Camp 3rd August to the 11th August 2008  at Kingsnorth in Kent as part of our on going documentary of social change, as the Climate Camp puts it:

The world is changing.

Food riots abroad, house prices and pensions collapsing at home, energy prices skyrocketing worldwide. And slap bang in the middle of all of this - climate change - which the government and the power giant E.ON propose to make worse by building the UK's first coal-fired power station in 30 years at Kingsnorth in Kent.

Suddenly, the future we all thought we could count on seems very unlikely. Yes, the world is complex, but one thing is clear: the economy isn't working for the benefit of most of us. It's seemingly endless growth hasn't brought happiness. Indeed, through carbon emissions, it has brought us to the edge. We need to change course.

Do you think Brown or Cameron will put us on a radically different path? No, we don't either. So we're working on alternatives by working together collectively. When large numbers of determined and well-organised people get together they can turn things around, making a historic difference.

The world is changing and we feel it is our duty to document the change for history...
