Description
How can Design help society to tackle the climate crisis?  Find out in this episode featuring Aurelie Leonet, one of the founders of Design Declares . Aurelie shares the 8 Acts that we should all sign up to if we're going to make a difference to the fate of the planet and also shares stories that include how she wound up spending time in a UK jail (as part of a design research initiative, obviously). In the podcast, Aurelie also mentions the work of Muhammad Yunus, who she credits with encouraging her to pursue a purposeful design path. He's well worth looking into. She also states that Project Drawdown  is one of her favourite sources. This comprehensive site provides a great list of climate friendly solutions from alternative concrete through to peatland protection and rewetting.  Thanks also to our next gen designer, Ada Maymó Costa for asking Aurelie about the key to starting a purposeful movement. This is our pilot season. We’re testing the water and working out if podcasts are a good way to reach the UK Service Design Community. Let us know what we should do next: Keep going? Give up? Change direction? Click on this 7 question survey to tell us how we can make this better for you. Service Design YAP is developed and produced by the Service Design Network UK Chapter. Its aim is to engage and connect the wider Service Design community. Episode Host: Stephen Wood Production Assistance: Jean Watanya
