“For a sustainable world” is the selected theme for this year’s Bamako Encounters, a theme appropriate to a continent where many countries are far from reaching the emission levels stipulated under the Kyoto Agreement and the consequent implications in terms of environmental policies, economic decisions, defending the environment, regulating agriculture, fishing and industrial production. Dozens of photographers responded to the challenge set and bore witness to a world demanding drastic solutions.
