Over 10,000 people from 195 countries joined the 200 sessions at Climate:Red! Participants spent 30 hours discussing global needs and sharing local initiatives around climate change.

Our team in Oslo teamed up with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) to graphically record Climate:Red, IFRC’s first-ever virtual climate summit!

This engagement followed our partnership with the Solferino Academy, an innovation and future-thinking initiative within the IFRC. For their webinar, Health Innovations – Transforming through Pandemics, we graphically recorded the stories of how people have responded to COVID-19. The illustrations helped communicate the positive lessons and responses from communities and Red Cross networks around the world. Climate:Red is part of our ongoing partnership with the IFRC.

Missed out on this climate summit? Not to worry – our designer Stefanie Schidlof joined the action as a graphic recording illustrator. She captured the essence of a few salient keynote sessions and panel discussions in lively, engaging graphics.
