Climate change is a complex, overwhelming issue, and the best way to combat feelings of helplessness is through community connection and positive action. Chicago, a city renowned for its legacy of design innovation—from groundbreaking architecture and forward-thinking urban planning to world-class graphic, industrial, and UX/UI design—is well-positioned to be a leader in climate solutions.

We aim to support this vision by cultivating a thriving community of Chicagoland design professionals and students, fostering climate-centered conversations across disciplines. By encouraging collaboration, sparking ideas, and creating partnerships with other like-minded organizations, our goal is to channel Chicago's creative energy into climate action.

Join Climate Designers Chicago to:

  • Connect with like-minded people to share perspectives and get inspired.

  • Learn about climate issues and how to take action in your professional and personal life.

  • Participate in local climate-positive events to affect meaningful change.
