Featuring work by seven contributors of The Everyday Projects, the new exhibition focuses on local initiatives against climate change. From around the globe, the 50 photos document how people face problems with resilience and innovation.
Villages in India and Guatemala are returning to agriculture that is carried out in harmony with nature. A research team in Maine, USA, is researching seaweed as an all-purpose solution to global warming. On the Kenyan island of Pate, the population is committed to protecting the mangrove forests, which are vital to people's survival.

Highlighting Potential: An Exhibit with FinDev Canada
AUGUST 24 – SEPTEMBER 14
ESPLANADE PVM, MONTRÉAL
We know that if the world is going to make real progress on the Sustainable Development Goals and Paris commitments, the private sector has to be a major player. We also know, however, that business in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs) is challenging. This is why FinDev Canada wants to bring visibility to the opportunities and potential that EMDEs bring. In so doing, we also have the opportunity to challenge traditional perceptions of these markets.
This exhibit portrays the diverse realities of Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America and the Caribbean, our focus regions for the past five years. It also looks forward towards our expansion into the Indo-Pacific as part of Canada’s strategy for the region. To achieve this, we partnered with talented local photographers whose work offers an authentic depiction of our markets and clients.
FinDev Canada has partnered with The Everyday Projects to leverage the talent of local photographers in our selected regions to capture the photos featured in the exhibit. View the full exhibit here.
