The water footprints of global food and agriculture trade: an exhibition at Chatham House

Ahead of London Climate Week, Chatham House hosted an exhibition based on a research paper by Richard King, a senior research fellow in the Environment and Society Centre, titled ‘The water footprints of global food and agriculture trade’. The exhibition featured data visualizations by students from the MA Design for Data Visualisation at the University of the Arts London: London College of Communication, and was supported by Soapbox, a London-based creative design studio. Responding to the Chatham House research, the students explored specific aspects of the project data, translating complex information into clear visual formats to support wider understanding and engagement. #LCAW2026 #LondonClimateActionWeek #chathamhouse #ual #soapbox #climatepolicy #climatechange 🔗 Research Paper | The water footprints of global food and agriculture trade https://www.chathamhouse.org/2025/12/water-footprints-global-food-and-agriculture-trade 🔗 Richard King, senior research fellow in the Environment and Society Centre https://www.chathamhouse.org/about-us/our-people/richard-king 🔗 Chatham House’s Environment and Society Centre https://www.chathamhouse.org/about-us/our-departments/environment-and-society-centre 🔗 MA Design for Data Visualisation programme at the University of the Arts London: London College of Communication https://www.arts.ac.uk/subjects/communication-and-graphic-design/postgraduate/ma-design-for-data-visualisation-lcc 🔗 Soapbox https://www.designbysoapbox.com Chris Holmes - Video Producer --- Chatham House is a London-based international affairs think-tank.
