IDEO: living climate change


Living Climate Change is a initiative of design and innovation consultancy, IDEO, that serves as an online space to discuss our approaches to climate change, particularly with the view that designers can play an essential role in visualizing our futures.

Instead of relying on policymakers to solve our climate change problems, thereby positioning ourselves as passive observers, the forum encourages us to all participate in thinking critically about shaping and adapting to our changing global world.

Living Climate Change is formatted as a blog with essays, imagery, visions etc. that are also categorized by various topics (ex: campaigns, photography, transit, youth etc). Though is it promoted as an open format for discussion, as of right now only certain contributions are published, and it relies largely on experts to create the material. It was launched fairly recently - at the end of September - so I wonder if the format will become more democratic as the site evolves...
