We have 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 meeting in Copenhagen.

Thank you – so far – to:
* Katrine Clante, Denmark
* Nancy Margulies, US
* Roy Blumenthal, South Africa
* Erik Petri, Denmark
* Harry van der Velde, The Netherlands
* Maja Rottbøll, Denmark

Check out their websites.

We are now on 3rd day of the negotiations and things are getting more and more tense. It will become politics tomorrow and probably some will show new positions. We have made visuals and Stine is in the middle og making a stand, where people can have dialogues.

During the next 7 days negotiations leading up to COP 15 in Copenhagen (the new deal to replace the Kyoto Protocol) is taking place. We are supporting WWF during these days. For each day we will upload visuals of the main issues, ideas and messages which WWF find important to communicate. We invite anyone out there to join us. The above is from the premeetings this weekend. More to come here and on our Slideshare site.

The above post it’s show 12 words/ concepts which each have a following icon. The topic is Climate Change. The situation where they can be used is in a dialogue around how your organisation considers its rol in the current debate around climate change and COP15.

What visual langauge do you need?

Post a comment below with the Top 10 words you’d like a illustration and/ or an icon for.
Please include three things in your comment:

1) What industry / topic?
2) When – In what situation do you need it?
3) What 10 words / concepts would you like to have a Visual Langauage for?

This is a pilot project which we intend to run over the next ½ year. We will gather all the words we get and follow up on our blog with the progress we are making and get back to those of you who have submitted words.

Thank you!
