Quality content to show that climate change is already affecting our lives
If we learn how to deal with climatic changes, they need not be a tragedy. To mobilize Brazil, we created a site full of varied content for the British Embassy and for the Estadão newspaper - photos, videos, animation, graphics, reports, articles and interviews.
