Description

Climate change is generally acknowledged to be the most serious threat that mankind has ever faced. In order to avoid catastrophe, it is imperative that all nations agree multilaterally to work together to combat climate change. Unfortunately the scientific evidence, politics and economics connected with climate change is extremely complex and the doom laden forecasts coupled with the enormous personal sacrifices prescribed are hard for the public to take in. The result is that many people fail to engage with this enormous problem. One of the immediate and most important challenges for governments and NGOs alike has been to find ways of communicating this vital information that are straight forward, palatable and inspiring.
