The United Nations Environment Program must have been listening to all the Grist chatter (here and here) about how to communicate environmental issues, because they have just launched the Creative Gallery on Sustainability Communications, described as the …

… first international online database of corporate and public advertising campaigns specifically dedicated to sustainability issues and classified by sustainability themes.

Reader support makes our work possible. Donate today to keep our site free. All donations DOUBLED!

The goal of the project is to …

… inspire and foster more and better communication on sustainability issues from all stakeholders involved in the promotion of sustainable development.

Grist readers will probably appreciate the humor in many of the ads.
