Climate Kid

The climate is changing. We are already seeing and witnessing the effects, but over the next few decades these changes will get increasingly more extreme. Experts predict, prolonged periods of intense sunshine, freak floods, cyclones, droughts, shortage of and competition for raw materials, mass migration and an increase in deadly diseases like malaria.

That’s why UNICEF UK and the award-winning environmental non-profit Do The Green Thing are launching an innovative new video campaign called ‘Climate Kid’, which uses a ninety second animated video to illustrate how we can help reduce the impacts of climate change on children. It’s an inspiring, funny story to show that everyone has a positive role to play in tackling climate change.

We invited a few illustrators to submit their own interpretation in their signature styles of what Climate Kid – a child who has evolved to adapt to extreme climate change – will look like in the future. These are the images in this group.

A Twitter competition will give tweeters the chance to win one of these original artworks.

To enter you'll need to tell us how you will need to evolve to survive in the future.

From your twitter account and using the hastag #climatekid tweet how you will need to evolve to continue doing the things you love. For example: I’ll need wings the size of an albatross to fly to football #climatekid
