Floods are also increasing in frequency and intensity, and is expected to continue to increase throughout current century. Floods contaminate freshwater supplies, heighten the risk of water-borne diseases, and also cause drownings and physical injuries, damage homes, and disrupt supply of medical and health services. Rising temperatures and variable precipitation portrayed by polar bear in a tiny white land are likely to expand whole water volume of ocean and many island got drown and instability of weather. It leads also to decrease production of staple foods in many of the poorest regions, especially in rural area of Indonesia. This will increase the prevalence of malnutrition and undernutrition, which currently cause 3.1 million deaths every year.
Lack of safe water can compromise hygiene and increase risk of diarrhoeal disease, which kills approximately 760,000 children aged under 5, every year. By late 21st century, climate change is likely to increase frequency and intensity of drowning at regional and global scale. We are using tall animal like giraffe to portray to public how severe the flood time goes by, and impact is going to be drowning, difficulty to have clean water, and even died at last.
Consider these complex impacts, we hope public can do really simple things in life with SURVIVE as catchphrase, which means survive from climate change impacts too. SURVIVE strategy stands for: Start physical activity; Use public transportation; Reforestation; Volunteeraly compensate heat production; Improve home insulation; Vehicle’ s emission lowering; and Enhance renewable energy. Helicopter in upper right poster, is a metaphor to hope for every person underneath it whose looking for help and still have chance preventing flood in future by SURVIVE steps. Thus, it is necessary for public to take responsibility as well for having better life in future in terms of climate change impacts prognosis.
