Welcome to this special edition, where we unpack how climate change is impacting the Indian Ocean Region—home to 2.5 billion people across 36 countries, stretching from East Africa to the west coast of Australia.
For this issue, we wanted the artwork to resonate deeply with the theme. Though created by seven different artists with distinctive styles and approaches, the illustrations are tied together by a shared conceptual thread.
Welcome to this special edition, where we unpack how climate change is impacting the Indian Ocean Region—home to 2.5 billion people across 36 countries, stretching from East Africa to the west coast of Australia.

A 2023 study published in Nature showed that human-induced climate change has significantly changed the colour of more than half the world’s oceans, especially in tropical regions—from blue to green—over the past two decades.
With this in mind, we invited each artist to incorporate a particular shade of green into their piece, in any way they saw fit. Illustrating conceptual themes is never easy, but our artists took this on as an additionalchallenge.
What emerged are artworks that are as varied as they are connected—each one interpreting the themes in every article through a personal lens, yet held together by a subtle visual echo of green.
