UNESCO Green Citizens on the Paris Metro!

The posters are comprised of double visuals, drawing on UNESCO’s expert knowledge to underline the key issues the planet faces on one side, and presenting a concrete solution to the issue provided by a UNESCO Green Citizens project on the other.  

Made possible thanks to Media Transport and the Klorane Botanical Foundation, our founding partner, the campaign aims to raise awareness and mobilize individuals to get involved in climate action. 

The poster dedicated to Biodiversity research reads:

 "About 6.4 million hectares of forest are lost every year, the equivalent of 600 times the area of Paris."

Dr Noëline Raondry Rakotoarisoa - Director, Man and the Biosphere Programme, UNESCO

"Replanting endemic species that are more resistant to climate change, that's our way of protecting the forest and its ecosystem."

Dayana Duarte, Coordinator, Environmental Education - Iracambi Rainforest Research Center Project

The other poster, dedicated to Ocean research, reads:

"Coral reefs are dying around the world, 90% of them are expected to disappear by 2050."

Julian Barbière, Scientific Expert - Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission - UNESCO

"We use a technology that accelerates the growth of coral, allowing them to be restored within months."

Oshiko Riley, Coral Aquaculture Technician, Coral Vita
