Emma Blake Morsi and Cabot institute unveil COP26 Billboard campaign
Artist and multi-disciplinary producer Emma Blake Morsi has been commissioned by the Cabot Institute for the Environment to create a series of billboards and posters, which were exhibited across Bristol in July 2021.
In November 2021, more than 190 global leaders will gather in the UK city of Glasgow for the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, better known as COP26, to accelerate action towards ambitious targets aimed at cutting carbon emissions and safeguarding the world’s future.
Leading experts from the University of Bristol’s Cabot Institute for the Environment will be contributing to the discussions and a campaign has been launched in the city this month to bring the important issues at stake to a wider audience.
The campaign designs are the brainchild of Emma Blake Morsi, aged 24, who has created a series of evocative billboards and posters, currently emblazoned across Bristol, to highlight how innovative, pioneering research holds the key to unlocking such pressing problems, including access to water and sanitation, the effects of climate change on drylands and sustainable food sources.
