Drawing upon visual perceptions and lived experiences of the climate crisis in two climate-vulnerable locations in Senegal, our aim in this paper is to interrogate narratives of the climate crisis as "natural". Empirical data is drawn from qualitative research conducted in Dakar and Saint Louis, including a one-month climate diary, capturing individual perceptions of climate change and mobility via photos and text, enhanced by information from focus groups and in-depth interviews. In this way, we reveal both the unequal impact of injustices upon local people and how qualitative research methods can capture counter-narratives and contribute to diverse knowledge production around the climate crisis.
