Pamela EA
Pamela is a documentary photographer who has built a body of visual work and organizations around climate justice and gender equality.
Her work engages communities often excluded from environmental decision-making. Through scientific expeditions, on-site documentation of regenerative and Indigenous land-stewardship practices, and participation in United Nations climate negotiations, she collaborates with community knowledge holders and scientific partners to illuminate the lived experiences shaping environmental responses, primarily through photography, supported by video and graphic work.
She advances climate literacy as co-founder and creative director of Climate Words, a resource that breaks down complex climate terminology. Her work with Latinas por el Clima, which she co-founded, supports womxn across Latin America in advancing socio-environmental solutions.
Pamela has documented research in the Canadian, Norwegian, and Greenlandic Arctic, and produced long-form work with CNN on soil health in Mexico. She has participated annually in UN Climate Change Conferences since 2021. Her work has been featured in Atmos, VICE, Vogue, among others. She received the Getty Images Scholarship, The World Around Young Climate Voice Award, and was named a Fellow International with The Explorers Club.
