Title Air quality stripes provide clearer insight into global pollution Media name/outlet ITN Business Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 24/09/24 Description The concept of ‘climate stripes’, originally popularised to visually depict global warming, is now being adapted to highlight the pressing issue of air pollution.
This new version of the ‘climate stripes’, created by British climate scientist Professor Ed Hawkins, of the University of Reading, use a series of coloured bands to represent long-term trends in environmental data — in this case, pollution levels. The goal is to make the often-invisible problem of air pollution more tangible and understandable to the public, thereby driving home the urgency of addressing it.Persons Kirsty Pringle
