WAND: Creator of the COP29 trophies

At COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, in November 2024, WAND was asked to design the trophies presented to the European Commission's Climate Action Team (DG CLIMA). These trophies were presented in recognition of their commitment to championing climate and environmental issues.

Crafted from recycled and upcycled materials, these trophies embody the values ​​of sustainability, innovation, and responsibility shared by WAND and its partners. Each piece reflects an artistic and ethical approach to design, symbolizing the importance of collective action for the climate.
