UN Testimonial on Global Warming Impacts

Slide Content

The slide focuses on the urgency to combat global warming, presenting extracts from two officials' reports. The first quote highlights the critical need for action as emphasized by the IPCC report discussed at COP 21, which isolates 1.5 °C as a pivotal point for global warming impacts. The second quote presents a stark warning from the World Meteorological Organization, projecting a temperature increase of 3–5 °C by 2100 if current trends continue, indicating a time-sensitive situation and the dire consequences of inaction.

Graphical Look

• The slide has a large, high-resolution background image depicting a polar landscape with icebergs and open water under a cloudy blue sky.
• At the top of the slide, the title "UN Testimonial on Global Warming Impacts" is in large, white, bold text that contrasts with the blue sky background.
• Two separate translucent white text boxes are overlaid onto the lower half of the image, each containing a quote in dark blue font along with the attribution in smaller font size.
• On the left text box, a prominent exclamation mark icon is placed in a yellow circular background.
• On the right text box, a stopwatch icon is displayed within a similar yellow circular background.
• Both icons are related to the urgency and time theme presented in the quotes. The overall look of the slide is professional and visually compelling, with the impactful imagery of the polar environment serving as a poignant backdrop for the urgent messages related to global warming.
