PORT FOLIO

GRAPHICS

Zoï Environment Network is well known for its ability to transfer dry analysis into easily readable visual communication products – infographics, maps, posters, books, scrolls and animated videos about today’s environmental challenges.

With our busy everyday working lives, we sometimes forget how productive we actually are as a rather small non-profit corner shop, somewhat comparable to a bakery where delicious croissants, breads and patisserie are sold to hopefully happy clients in an ongoing process of daily recreation. Once in a while we take the liberty to extract what we think is ‘the best of’ a visual portfolio to give insight and to inspire our communities (and somewhat ourselves). While we are quite aware of the potential of artificial intelligence in today’s visual design, most of what you see in this portfolio still is ‘hand-made’ and thus distinguishes itself from the internet porridge we are confronted with every day. Enjoy!

Nature Based Solutions for Water (NBSW)

Actions to protect, sustainably manage, and restore natural and modified ecosystems that address societal challenges effectively and adaptively, simultaneously providing human well-being and biodiversity benefits, focusing specifically on addressing water resource challenges.

Resilient Nature-Based Water Solutions (RNBWS)

Solutions in agricultural landscapes that strategically integrate Nature Based Solutions for Water with Agricultural Water Management. RNBWS can enhance water security and ecological agricultural production systems by improving water availability and water quality whilst simultaneously reducing water-related risks and generating a range of additional social, economic, and environmental benefits.

The Environmental Consequences of the War against Ukraine Preliminary Twelve-Month Assessment (February 2022 – February 2023) OSCE, 2024

OSCE project: Mitigating Climate Change Threats to Critical Energy Infrastructure Project Factsheet – No. 1102456

Climate change is increasingly affecting the energy sector: it damages energy assets, overloads power grids, and compromises the reliability of providing energy to people. Over the last years, power utilities ranked highest in exposure and vulnerability to long-term risks of climate change.

Extreme weather events and climate variations compromise power plant capacities, while increasing energy demand. A temperature increase of 3.5°C - 5°C by 2050 could increase the need for electricity by 10-20%. To strengthen energy security, countries urgently need to integrate these risks into their energy planning and invest in resilient infrastructure for the generation and distribution of electricity.

However, most OSCE participating States have access neither to localized climate projections nor to the know-how to apply them to energy planning. For example, the OSCE Risk and Readiness Assessment revealed that 50% of project countries seldom or never use climate data for energy planning.

This unique OSCE project equips energy stakeholders with the know-how, capacities, and data to to prevent and address climate risks to critical energy infrastructure, prepare for future climate realities, and advance a resilient and long-lasting energy transition.
