Health in a Heating World (series) | An Elegy for the Death of Hamun Hashem Shakeri. “For centuries, Sistan and Baluchestan has been a fertile region of Iran, with forests and productive cropland. But rapid climate change is turning it into a desert, bringing drought, hunger, unemployment and mass emigration. Abdullah, who is fasting, is resting under a fruit tree that has recently dried out and been infested by beetles. There are still plenty of green trees around, but he believes that farming will soon become unviable here”. (Photo by Hashem Shakeri/Wellcome Photography Prize 2021)
