Residents bracing for an approaching wildfire on Rhodes on Monday
Pictured above are residents evacuating from Rhodes, Greece, due to fierce wildfires
across Europe and the rest of the world. It shows the active toll of climate change on humans as
they are forced from their homes, while others are shown driving to the fires, bracing to fight it.
The brightly colored buildings and vibrant ecology of the area are physically dulled due to the
smog caused by the fires. The hazy smoke that fills the image demonstrates the power of slow
violence that climate change creates, with even those not directly in the line of the fire at risk for
health issues. Clarissa Cantacuzene
