Continuing our partnerships with organisations around the important cause of climate change, we’re excited to share this one with you today based on a different theme that will inspire lots of great, fun, instinctive creative content to celebrate the brilliant Paris Agreement. You can share your sketches, scamps, designs, posters. GIFS and more on this one to support this great cause.

Brief:
To create posters that celebrate that the Paris Agreement (the historical global climate change treaty) is working because it has catalysed a set of unstoppable economic, social and political changes that slow down the climate crisis. 12 December 2020 is the 5th anniversary of the Paris Agreement and we’re hoping the OMBLES will help share lots of positive content around it as we show our support of it over the next week.

What is this about:
A new report by Systemiq - The Paris Effect - assesses for the first time the pace and scale of change since 2015. Due for release on 10 December, two days ahead of the 5th Anniversary of the Paris Agreement.
The Paris Effect report summarises how different actors and sectors have started to shift towards a net-zero future. Businesses and countries need to scale this transition and existing solutions to hold the rise in global average temperature below 1.5*C degree.
Details:
The picture on the surface is not rosy: emissions are rising, climate impacts are intensifying. But 5 years ago the idea of a decarbonised society was unimaginable. Today every sensible business and country has a net-zero carbon emission deadline. This would have not happened without the ambitious goals of the Paris Agreement.
The world is currently rebuilding from the ashes of a global pandemic. The Paris Agreement has actually catalysed a set of changes that can help economies shift towards more resilient investment plans that will protect jobs, peoples’ health and nature.
Some of the changes the Paris Agreement is helping to make:
12.5 trillion USD - the combined revenue of companies with a net-zero target
building towards a net-zero economy could create 40 million jobs
Electric vehicles are now on our streets and railways, they will become cheaper than the gasoline-powered ones.
Meatless burgers, sausages and much other alternative food are now in our markets, they are rocketing in sales, 29% growth in just the past few years.
Solar panels, wind turbines are almost everywhere. They are the cheapest form of electricity production now, providing the energy of nature without polluting it.
For sectors contributing 70% of emissions, we will have increasingly competitive solutions in markets that we can champion to drive those emissions down.
