AI is here: but is it a cause to breathe easy over or one that we should be worried about? Let’s consider a few different viewpoints in this entry.

Ever find yourself stuck or burnt out when thinking about what you can do as a climate design activist? Realistic goals are the first step to effective activism. This new framework might help you on your path.

An entry that aims to highlight some of the things that make looking for a job difficult, especially as a designer, and offers a few suggestions to employers as to how they can make the experience better for everyone.

In the final part of the series, we take a look at planned obsolescence, what we value (and why), and ask the question, “What will we design to preserve?”

For part three in the series we’ll examine design’s connections with marginalization and how we have the ability both to improve things or make them worse.

In this entry, we’ll explore design’s relationship with our planet’s sacrifice zones. We’ll look at how what we do has the potential to contribute to destruction in other parts of the world.

Big oil is chiefly to blame for climate change, but many climate-related problems can be traced back to other professions as well. This in-depth series takes a look at how waste in design contributes to the crisis.

Fossil fuel companies have gotten away with greenwashing their ventures for too long. Examining their actions can go a long way toward putting a stop to their efforts to avoid blame.

In this entry we examine the case for an International Panel on Climate Design and our own Conference of Designers in order to bring the IPCC model to our own industries.

What we draw on for motivation in this struggle to combat the climate crisis is important. Just like with real world fuels, some motivating factors are renewable, and some lead to burnout.

As climate designers, we are tasked with co-creating systems of care that are able to embrace difference and conflict and center values of both accountability and belonging.

Climate designers can learn much from Robin Wall Kimmerer about not only the role we play in climate care but how it is a crucial one.

Activism, especially in the face of the climate crisis, is exhausting. If we don’t stop to rest though, the crisis will sap our strength. Let’s take a minute to look at how we can rest and resist.

Climate designers can learn from Dr. Vandana Shiva how to honestly assess not only the products, services, and/or systems we are designing, but whether these things are even worth designing in the first place.

This entry is an optimistic look at a future that we can already reach out and grab. One in which hope prevails over despair.

What does design look like when it is responding appropriately to the climate crisis? Let’s look at some characteristics of a design culture that inspires hope in its audience.

Designers can learn from the teachings of Joanna Macy how to best focus our energy and take intentional action during these transformational times.

We asked designers what their goals for their industries are for 2022. The last theme that emerged was building a larger awareness around climate change. Take a look.

We asked designers what their goals for their industries are for 2022. The third theme that emerged was re-evaluating design education. Here’s what they had to say.

Designers are creating tools and frameworks that serve as guiding principles that create communal wisdom to guide our actions going forward during a period of unprecedented changes.
