WHO WE ARE
Climagraphy was established in 2021 with the support of UMI Funds with the goal of using visual storytelling to bridge the gap between climate science, policy, and the lived realities of frontline communities. Through photography, multimedia narratives, and exhibitions, we document climate impacts, highlight solutions, and drive meaningful conversations on climate action.
Since its inception, Climagraphy has led groundbreaking projects such as Black Oxygen, Evolution of Plastics, P.E.T. Subsidy, Methane Emissions in Nigeria, and What’s on Our Landfill?, sparking policy changes and amplifying community voices. Our work has influenced environmental policies, mobilized grassroots action, and provided a platform for communities to share their stories.
We have collaborated with local and international partners, including the UNDP, the African Development Bank (AfDB), the University College, London amongst others to advance climate awareness and advocacy.
We’re a small team of young and passionate individuals from diverse backgrounds, united by a shared commitment to transforming how people think and feel about climate change. Through compelling storytelling, we aim to make a real difference in climate communication, ensuring that stories of resilience and adaptation inspire action.
Climagraphy is located at No. 5, University Road, Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria.

Our Notable Projects
Black Oxygen
The Black Oxygen project stands as one of Climagraphy’s most impactful achievements, shedding light on environmental injustice through powerful visual storytelling. This project documented the devastating effects of industrial pollution in a Nigerian community suffering from toxic tire-burning practices. By capturing the lived realities of affected residents, Black Oxygen amplified their voices, drawing national and international attention to the crisis.
Following the project's exhibition, the government took action, leading to justice and relief for the community. This milestone highlights Climagraphy's commitment to using photography as a tool for advocacy, policy change, and environmental justice.
"Expensive Shit"
The "Expensive Shit" photo story project documented the widespread issue of open defecation along the Berger corridor in Lagos State, exposing the severe health risks, pollution, and environmental degradation caused by this practice.
Just days after the story was published, it caught the attention of the Lagos State Government, prompting immediate action to clean the area and implement measures to prevent garage boys and touts from further engaging in open defecation. This project exemplifies Climagraphy's power in driving policy response and real change through visual storytelling.

"The Current" Exhibition
"The Current" Exhibition is a our forthcoming visual storytelling project highlighting the devastating impacts of climate change on coastal communities. Set in Akodo-Ise Community, one of the affected areas, the three-day exhibition will immerse visitors in the realities of climate change, allowing them to witness its effects firsthand. Instead of taking the exhibition to people, The Current brings people to the affected communities, fostering deeper connections and understanding. Through photography and community-centered narratives, the exhibition aims to spark conversations, inspire action, and drive climate advocacy.
Coming Soon.
