For the second time in recent months XPLANE has partnered with The Economist to create a compelling video on a topic of global importance. After working together on “Did You Know? 4.0”, The Economist enlisted XPLANE’s visual communication expertise to develop “The Carbon Economy” about the growing importance of climate change and green technologies and solutions.
“The Carbon Economy” will be shown at The Economist’s upcoming Carbon Economy Summit on November 17 and 18, 2009 in Washington, D.C. The video is three minutes in length and includes simple visuals and a moving soundtrack to clearly convey the troubled state of global climate change and what steps must be taken to reach a positive outcome. The production was created using Apple’s Keynote software.

Nice video on important topic.
One sidenote however: carbon dioxide emissions cut visualization is quite misleading. Whereas Japan and EU both use 1990 as reference point of emission cuts, US uses the year 2005. So, actually compared to EU’s 20% (30% if other countries commit to equally big cuts) US only promises about 4% cuts… it’s a start but weak compared to rivals and I think this should be visualized in video, too.
