CLIMATE STRIPES | World Temperature Transition

This poster condenses Professor Ed Hawkins' "Warming Stripes" (Climate Stripes) concept from the University of Reading, UK, into a single striking image. It visually communicates the reality of climate change by representing global average temperature changes since 1850 through color gradients (blue tones = cooler temperatures, red tones = warmer temperatures) and bar graphs (displayed transparently using UV printing).

Each piece is part of a worldwide limited edition of 900 posters, authenticated through an embedded NFC tag carrying a unique serial number.
