Brief

To celebrate the work of The °Climate Group since it’s inception in 2004, and to commemorate the role of CEO and founder Steve Howard, bwa were asked to create a prestigious and high profile compendium befitting such outstanding achievements. The resulting book was presented by former Prime Minister Tony Blair to the outgoing CEO of The °Climate Group Steve Howard.

Result

The outcome is a refined and prestigious high-quality, large-scale, traditional quarter-bound hardback book, complete with bespoke emboss-printed cloth slipcase and duotone ribbon bookmarks.

Solution

The resulting book acts as a primarily photographic record of achievement and chronology of The °Climate Group’s most significant successes, alongside personal anecdotes and large-scale typographic embellishments on key factual achievements. Featuring input from internationally renowned political and environmental luminaries such as Tony Blair, Al Gore, Ban Ki-Moon and Arnold Schwarzenegger – the folio celebrates the exceptionally high esteem with which Steve Howard and The °Climate Group are held. Marking outstanding achievements and championing successes in the ongoing battle against climate change – the book includes internationally sourced photography provided by Magnum Photos documenting The °Climate Group’s work as part of the acclaimed North.South.East.West exhibition.
