An international jury met at the Bayer Communication Center in Leverkusen to select the winners of the painting competition.

Leverkusen. “Climate Change” was the subject of a global children’s painting competition organized jointly by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and Bayer AG in the context of their alliance. A total of 13,450 paintings were submitted by children from 104 countries. The brightly colored pictures – some with humorous content, others depicting bitter scenarios – expressed the children’s fears and hopes about the future. Most of the images contained a clear message to the world’s adults to take better care of the endangered planet Earth. The winning paintings will be exhibited for the first time on June 3, 2007, in Norway.
