The world-famous Danish top model and photographer Helena Christensen is currently in Peru, in order to work in a series of photo shoots.

The photos are intended to document how regional climate changes impact on the poorest populations.

This is a campaign by Oxfam international.

Christensen, who is from Danish and Peruvian descent, is working on this project with the aim of contributing to the  achievement of an international agreement for reducing the greenhouse gas emissions, during the upcoming UN summit in Copenhagen (Denmark).

Christensen's efforts are also part of a campaign which pursues the creation of funds to help poor communities adapt to climate change.

Christensen's photos will be exhibited in New York and Washington before being shown in Copenhagen, and will also be printed in international magazines.

She will offer a press conference tomorrow (Friday) regarding this campaign.
