Spoof Posters Mocking Corporate Sponsors Of The Paris Climate Talks Appear Across The City

Organized by the activist group Brandalism, the spoof posters poke fun at and aim to expose not just the apparent corporate hypocrisy of companies contributing to climate change sponsoring the climate talks, but also that of the major world leaders, such as President Barack Obama, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, President François Hollande, and Prime Minister David Cameron.

The group states that: “We are taking their spaces back because we want to challenge the role advertising plays in promoting unsustainable consumerism. Because the advertising industry force feeds our desires for products created from fossil fuels, they are intimately connected to causing climate change.” The artworks have been created by over 80 artists from 19 countries across the globe.

World leaders and politicians haven't escaped a mocking by the group either.
