The Future of Oil

TRUTHstudio provides ongoing information design support to the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace on the Future of Oil project. The project, which includes development of the Oil Climate Index (OCI), seeks to understand and communicate how increased availability of unconventional oils is changing the energy and fuels landscape for the future, and how these changes could affect global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In the first phase of this work, TRUTHstudio collaborated with the research team to develop a small number of compelling messages and/or graphics that were used to communicate the results of this research at the 2015 COP21 negotiations in Paris. Future phases will produce a full suite of messages and graphics that can be used by the team to communicate the results of the research to a broad range of audiences, including policymakers and the general public.
