Why Is It Hard to Be a Climate Designer?

Keynote

Track 6

Thurs - Sept 23

11:00 am EDT

What are the challenges that keep us, as designers and design leaders, from driving innovation that creates a cleaner, healthier future? In this presentation I examine the barriers that limit our ability to be a force for good in our work and propose new ideas for how we can challenge and overcome those barriers to drive sustainable innovation. I'll share real-life examples of climate design challenges and victories; and offer up tools and frameworks to help all of us make the impact we want to have and design our way to a more sustainable and just future. Whether you are new to sustainability or already driving climate impact, this talk will offer reframes and inspiration for driving sustainable innovation in any design role.
