Fascinating and sobering talk from @KevinClimate asking for real zero by 2035 (not net zero by 2050) at @designcouncil 's #DesignForPlanet Festival
"If your home lies somewhere between one refugee camp to the next, the sky your roof, barbed wires for walls...This may not be your crisis" powerful message from @sara_asfiya as part of the first showcase of the Low Carbon Design Institute @LO_C_D_I – at Tottenham, London
I've been teaching my mum to recognise how the Hungarian media are manipulating her worldview, including the infantilisation efforts of daily news always ending with a story in the zoo. She sent me a photo of a leopard last night to add to my collection 💪👏 #stupidifythemasses
The following blog post describes the 4 design experiments I developed during my PhD. Applying insights from social psychology, I looked at the potential role of AI agents and emerging technologies in helping people transition to low-pollution lifestyles.

People tend to under estimate the vast amounts of urban space that are taken up by motor vehicles and their parking. For instance in Berlin, cars, each used for an average of 36 minutes each day, have 78% of road space.

We had one of our first digital roundtables today with some of our Built Environment Experts (AKA BEEs!)
With the collective expertise, we discussed what support is most needed amidst a pandemic and where the role of design can help.
