The photograph is a display of hundreds of planes taking off from the Hanover airport. Who knows? Maybe [air pollution](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/decarbonizing-aviation) is being slightly reduced with the recession and our inability to travel as much. **Implications** - Climate change (as it is more accurately known) is an issue that affects the whole world, but it's easy to lose sight of its real implications when it gets reduced to endlessly repeated soundbites and constantly repeated statistics. Images like this, however, put a far more intuitive face to the problems that contribute to climate change and bring it home to an altogether more profound impact. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Climate Change Awareness:** The photograph depicting severe air traffic highlights the issue of climate change and raises awareness. - **Reduced Travel:** The recession and reduced travel due to COVID-19 may lead to a decrease in air pollution. - **Visual Communication:** Images like this photograph provide a more intuitive way of understanding the implications of climate change. ### Who This Affects Most - **Environmental Conservation:** The issue of climate change presents opportunities for innovation in sustainable practices and technologies. - **Travel and Tourism:** The reduced travel brought on by the recession and pandemic may lead to a reevaluation of the industry's impact on the environment. - **Visual Arts:** Artistic expressions like this photograph can be a powerful medium for conveying messages about important global issues. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pollution-Removing Murals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/this-campaign-sucks.md) - [Large-Scale Airport Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airport-installations.md) - [Climate-Awareness Wool Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/irreversible-scale.md) - [LED-Wrapped Airport Renovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pragues-airport.md) - [Sustainable Air Travel Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airspace-cabin-vision-2035-concept.md) - [Climate-Awareness Soft Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamstones.md) - [Reimagined Artwork-Based Travel Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-travel.md) - [Weather-Inspired Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weatherinspired-art-exhibition.md) - [Painterly Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airmega-250-art-x-hailyhills.md)
