When dealing with an issue as contentious as how to address global climate change, we need all the help we can get.

Ole Qvist of Bigger Picture sent out a request to the visual thinking and practice community asking for everyone to contribute with visuals which can explain some of the key messages and concepts discussed during the Barcelona Climate Talks leading up to the COP15 UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December.

The image above is my contribution, illustrating this quote:

“It would be great if our shared vision just dawned on us….but it does demand compromise and hard work”
