Development of a modern poster on the theme of carbon

Abstract

In recent years, excessive greenhouse gas emissions have led to abnormal global climate patterns, rising temperatures, and melting of ice in the Antarctic and Arctic, heightening the risk of climate crises. Promoting a green and low-carbon transition in the economy and society is a crucial path to address climate change, as well as an essential approach to advancing ecological civilization construction, high-quality economic and social development, and enhanced environmental protection. In recent years, the alarming escalation of greenhouse gas emissions, primarily resulting from human activities such as industrial processes, deforestation, and the burning of fossil fuels, has significantly disrupted global climate systems. This anthropogenic interference has triggered a cascade of abnormal weather patterns, including more frequent and intense heatwaves, droughts, floods, and storms, posing severe threats to ecosystems, biodiversity, and human societies worldwide. The polar regions, particularly the Antarctic and Arctic, have become the proverbial canaries in the coal mine, with their rapidly melting ice sheets and glaciers serving as stark indicators of the pace at which our planet is warming. This melting not only contributes to rising sea levels, threatening coastal communities and infrastructure but also disrupts ocean currents and weather patterns, further exacerbating the global climate crisis. The loss of reflective ice cover also accelerates warming through a feedback loop known as the albedo effect, where less sunlight is reflected back into space, leading to increased absorption of heat by the Earth's surface. As the world's second-largest economy, China has experienced substantial greenhouse gas emissions amidst its rapid development, ranking first globally in such emissions. Achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality has thus become the most pressing ecological issue. China has set the task of reaching carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060, clarifying its development goals. As individuals, how can we contribute to these carbon peak and neutrality targets? This graduation project focuses on the research and design of basic daily low-carbon living practices, including the creation of a low-ca.rbon lifestyle IP image, design of low-carbon lifestyle posters, information visuali.zation design for low-carbon living, and font logo design.
