We transformed BC3’s annual reports for 2022 and 2023 into impactful communication tools that engage stakeholders, simplify complex data, and amplify BC3’s mission to advance climate action.

This project focused on designing visually engaging annual reports that translate BC3’s extensive climate research into accessible narratives. Our work included print reports for both 2022 and 2023, a dedicated digital landing page, and social media content to ensure their message reached a broader audience.
