Painting climate change in Bangladesh
UK newspaper The Guardian has a gallery of eight paintings created by the Bangladesh government and NGOs to teach people in rural Bangladesh about climate change and how to adapt to it.
Like in other areas or countries around the world populated mainly by people who can’t read or write, screenplays, songs and dramas are used to communicate the change…

Climate Change: Canada we’re coming
Risk advisory firm Maplecroft has published a “Climate Change Risk Report” looking into the vulnerability of 168 countries to the impact of climate change. The study does not review the severity of the threats in general, but instead evaluates the ability of each of the countries to adapt and withstand potential change.
The report includes a vulnerability index and comparable country scorecards with risk indices, risk indicators, maps and graphics.
Not unsurprising the developed nations with…

Environment: WWF - It’s a beautiful day
A new clip for the WWF to raise awareness about Global Warming. We are shown - with black humor - how people have adapted to the changes in weather patterns and natural disasters.
A couple taking a stroll with their baby during a Hurricane, campers out in the “wilderness” that has become a burning forest and the “good people” still washing their cars on the weekend even while they’re drowning in the flood.

Climate Change: Greenpeace EfficienCity
The UK branch of Greenpeace has put a model of an ideal city of the future online. The virtual town called “EfficienCity” shows with animations, videos and lots of information how a climate friendly city might look like. It generates its own energy decentralized from local renewable resources vs. receiving it from a centralized grid of nuclear or coal power plants. Greenpeace uses this Sim-City of Energy to demonstrate a way to lower greenhouse gas emissions, towards a more secure energy supply, cheaper electricity and heating bills and a whole new attitude towards energy…

Time: Melting and collapsing iceberg videos
While watching calving icebergs or glaciers always has been kind of spectacular for most people, these days with continuously shrinking polar ice caps something might be different.
Watch the videos to see how even a “small piece” or iceberg collapsing can cause gigantic waves or a tsunami…

Advertising: Hip-Hop for Food
What is getting one of Switzerland’s biggest companies (Coop) to ask the country’s best known and maybe most controversial Hip-Hop artist (Stress) to write a song for them and do a TV spot?
And this without prescribing the topic or other limitations put up.
… and then the whole thing becomes a great success and is shown multiple times everyday on TV.
It’s not exactly like 50 Cent would do a clip for K-Mart - (despite he might never consider this because of…)

Advertising: The WWF Billboards
With its billboard design for a Global Warming awareness campaign the “WWF” has demonstrated that clever advertising and eco-friendliness is a good match.
The WWF billboard for this campaign uses a specially shaped awning that casts a shadow onto the poster. Throughout the day that shadow rises and illustrates graphically the raising ocean levels on the billboard…

Global Warming: The shrinking African lake(s)
Lake Chad as shown below is just one of the vanishing large lakes in Africa and elsewhere on this planet.
Experts are warning that the lake, which was once Africa’s third largest inland water body, could shrink to a mere pond in two decades. A recent study by Nasa and the German Aerospace Centre blames global warming and human activity for Africa’s disappearing water…
