When it comes to air pollution, almost all of the global population (99%) breathe air that exceeds WHO guideline limits. Noise is an underestimated threat that can cause a number of health problems, including effects on hearing, stress and our cardiovascular system.

Microplastics are pervasive in marine water, wastewater, fresh water, food, air and drinking-water, both bottled and tap water. Due to limited research, the full health effects of microplastics are not yet known, but it has created intense public concern. Finally, permafrost, once thought to be permanent, is starting to thaw. This causes landscapes to literally sink into the earth, resulting in displaced villages and habitats. It also may be now releasing millions of tons of carbon dioxide which have been locked in it for thousands of years.

These challenges are artistically portrayed as dynamic sculptures that help us interact and intuitively learn about the invisible effects these have on our health and beyond. WHO climate change researchers have provided data, scientific validation, solutions and raised calls to action to enable countless audiences to take crucial steps to mitigate damage and preserve our planet for generations to come.
