Challenges comes in many forms, but a few things make it easier to meet them (Illustration: di1869)
Facing the future better
April record breaking heat hits Spain
A combination of early heatwave and lack of rain has hit Spain and also Portugal in April 2023 harder than ever. (Illustration dj00218)
Sea level rise – Dark horse of climate change
Of all the climate dynamics and effects of global warming sea level rise is the one we understand the least (illustration: di01570)
Different views on Sea level rise
Sea level rise is a new and growing challenge with several perspectives on it . (illustration ref. di1667 )
Four strategies to face sea level rise
Coastal cities and places are finding new solutions against the rising seas using: protection, adaptation, withdrawal or avoidance (Illustration ref: di01660)
Choosing types of coastal protection
Communities can choose from many ways to create coastal defenses to prepare for future sea level rise (drawing: di01664 )
Cooperation on coastal protection
I can be a challenge for neighboring municipalities to coordinate and think of solutions together ( illustration ref: di01656 )
We are all experts in some way
We need to talk together - experts can talk very convincing, but sometimes it is worth remembering that the more expert, the more narrow perspective ( illustration ref. di01663)
Climate protection can be more
di01662 - Many climate measures will only come into use in extreme storm and weather situations, and to make them better investments and more useful, planners and architects have started to put experiences and other functions into them
User skepticism about change
Di01666 - New projects can run into what is called NIMBY: "Not in my backyard"
Storm surge and sea level rise
Di01658 Sea level rise is the slow turtle that steadily, but quietly crawls up a little higher on the beach every year. Storm surge is the increasingly large bird, flapping its waves, flying fast and destructively inland, soon to be gone again, so reconstruction can begin. With the turtle, no rebuilding is possible.
Reportage drawings Climate March
It was end of October, in weather that the last days have been the hottest recorded in over 200 years, in Denmark. Like a June day and not much wind to keep the banners flying. I took out my drawing gear to sketch
Cutting off the branch
Classic metaphor drawn up... and there are days when I think, in reality on a global scale ( Illustration: Di 00007 )
Earth in a Dumpster
Busy life in the city, almost overlooking it there deep in the alley... ( Drawing ref: di00013 )
Watching the sunset
Tomorrow can look very different depending on how we use our resources (Illustration ref: di01326)
Global warming and land degradation
In a warmer world, there will be more drought periods and fewer and smaller glaciers on mountain tops to keep the rivers flowing in dry periods (illustration di01321)
Global warming thermometer
Experts and huge computers are struggling to prognose and calculate the challenges to a warmer world (illustration: di01325)
Walking as only choice
Many migrants leave their place on foot, without more than they can carry (illustration: di01320)
Leaving in hope
As climate change, land degradation and population growth stress more and more regions, people leave for the big cities or foreign countries, in hope of creating a better tomorrow for their loved ones and themselves (illustration: di00646)
Helping the planet
The grown-ups leaving it to the young to make a difference (Illustration: Di01088)
From protesting to protecting
As global warming increase we need to move from protesting to try to save nature instead (illustration: di01024)
Jumping from climate change
Species have no time to adapt to global warming, they need to move - but where to?
Houston we have a problem 1970 vs 2070
Challenges a hundred years apart... (illustration: di00594)
Phones can stop illegal logging
Locals are using technology to help monitor and protect nature
Can rising energy prices help us walk more?
taking steps in a new direction
