The environmental situation is critical, forcing us to question our production system and consumption patterns as well as our current well-being models. From the 1970s up until now, graphic designers have increased their involvement in environmental matters. They have developed resources for a more sustainable practice and tried to educate the public through self-commissioned projects or through their work for their clients. A feature of these projects is the place that illustration occupies because of its ability to showcase ideas visually and to make complex data understandable and attractive.
