Check out the online pass for the World Design Congress on 9-10 September for only 6 quid. I’ve got mine.
If you know me, you know I talk about regen. A lot.
The theme is Design for Planet… and the design brief is “designing a regenerative future for all by reducing carbon emissions and increasing biodiversity”.
The Themes
The themes that will be explored include…
Stories of Hope and Possibility
Hope isn’t just an aspiration, it’s a strategy. Brian Eno is in the mix for this.
Designing for Circularity
Waste is a design flaw. But it can be transformed into a valuable resource. Kate Raworth features.
Designing for Net Zero
The need to decarbonise at scale is critical and needs to be done equitably – through innovation, nature-positive materials, circularity, upskilling, and policy collaboration.
Shaping Places for Regeneration
We’re at a pivotal moment where design must transcend sustainability. We need to design regenerative places that are in harmony with nature, integrate biomimicry and systems thinking, and collaborate with communities as stewards.
Designing the Future Together
Explore what’s needed to make it possible, including skills, collaboration, policy, finance, hope, and determination.
Design shapes the world and has huge power.
Together we can design a better future.
It’s at the Barbican Centre in London this year, a couple of minutes away from where I used to live and started Dynamic4 in 2001. Wish I was there for it…
