Helena Christensen's photos of climate change in Peru Model and
photographer Helena Christensen recently returned to Peru, her
mother's native country, to document the dramatic effects that
climate change is having on people today. Helena's photographs
from the trip will be exhibited at the United Nations Conference
on Climate Change in Copenhagen this December. Following her
trip to Peru, Helena said: "The impacts of the climate change
are extremely severe in the areas we visited. The farmers we met
and talked to are already living very hard lives, and are now
being forced to adapt to salvage the effects of the rapidly
changing climate." The effects of climate change are already
devastating, and they affect poor people – those who have played
little part in causing the problem – first and worst. Oxfam's
