🌍 Reflections from the Design for Planet Festival 2024 🌿 Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending the Design for Planet Festival, an inspiring event that showcased the power of design in driving businesses toward net-zero goals while ensuring profitability. Here are a few standout themes from the day: 👕 Regenerative design is not just a trend but a crucial business strategy. Patrick Grant's work with Community Clothing exemplifies how rethinking the entire product lifecycle can make sustainability both affordable and competitive. ♻️ Business model innovation must go hand in hand with design for a truly circular future. The debate on whether design should focus on products or business models revealed that systemic change is needed for long-term environmental impact. 🏙️ Retrofitting and repurposing spaces, as seen in Manchester, offer a practical and profitable solution to housing and commercial development challenges. This is a clear demonstration of how circularity can redefine industries at scale. 🤝 Most importantly, the future of design is collaborative. Whether it's harnessing digital storytelling, embedding green behavior into corporate culture, or leveraging Doughnut Economics to redesign business models, the collective insights from the day underscored the necessity of cross-disciplinary approaches. Events like this remind us that impactful change is about thoughtful, pragmatic shifts in strategy. 💡 Link to agenda in comments if you want ot find out more #CircularEconomy #DesignForPlanet #SustainableBusiness #BusinessModelInnovation #NetZero Design Council

As we look forward to 2025, we invite the design community to embrace this challenge, innovate responsibly, and contribute to a sustainable future. In Design Week’s '25 Ideas for 2025', our Chief Executive, Minnie Moll, throws down an electrifying challenge to the design community: step up and reimagine the future. 🌍 Her idea? Design isn’t just a tool—it’s a responsibility. It’s time to tackle waste, rethink sustainability, and create solutions that leave the planet better for generations to come. This isn’t just a call to action—it’s a rallying cry for innovation, collaboration, and bold thinking. 2025 is fast approaching, and with it comes the chance to transform challenges into opportunities.

It’s Time for a New Design Paradigm In a world grappling with profound challenges, a simple commitment to sustainability may not be enough. It’s time to embrace a paradigm shift—one that places life and connectivity at the very heart of every decision, product, and service. Imagine a design approach that doesn’t just focus on minimizing harm but actively supports the coexistence and evolution of all living systems. A regenerative model that goes beyond sustaining to truly nurturing and thriving. While we can’t predict the future, we can shape it by questioning our current ways of thinking and making intentional choices today. By integrating community, sustainability, and the wisdom of all living systems, regenerative design empowers us to create conditions where all life flourishes. It’s time to design not only for humanity but for all life on Earth. #RegenerativeDesign #ParadigmShift #Designforlife #Sustainability

While human-centred design has made some really wonderful differences for many humans, it was always meant to be sustainably-minded and fully inclusive. But it got hijacked by unrestrained capitalism which created a destructive business-focused way of living that now dominates the world. 🤔 3 ways your everyday design and business actions may be contributing to the climate crisis and social injustice: 1. Designing solely for human needs and profit, without considering the broader environmental and social impacts throughout a project's ecosystem and product lifecycles 2. Designing exclusively for a narrow segment of the human population, without comprehensive integration of inclusivity and accessibility considerations, perpetuating biases, marginalisation, and environmental and social injustices throughout business and product lifecycles, exacerbating global inequality and perpetuating systemic discrimination. 3. Designing solely for profit and economic growth overlooks the holistic well-being of societies, environments, and interrelationships, perpetuating a disconnect between economic success and the health of communities and the planet. 🌏 5 ways modern design can transform from being a contributor to problems to becoming a force for positive change: 1. Ecosystem mapping—Zooming in and out during design and business activities to map and respect the greater ecosystem your activities belong to and impact 2. Circular, sustainable, and inclusive design—optimise the circularity, sustainability, and inclusivity of your activities and products to take less from the world and to reduce waste, pollution, and exclusion 3. Non-human and non-user personas—Create personas for the environments, animals, and people impacted by your activities to give them a voice in your projects 4. Global initiatives—align with global initiatives to connect more deeply with the greatest ecosystem we are all part of, Planet Earth 5. Monitoring—stay with your innovations by setting measurable metrics enabling continuous improvement and innovation The Life-centred Design Foundations Online Course teaches you these 5 solutions in just 6 weeks! 📅 Save the Dates: Tue 30th April—Enrolments Open and Free Course Tour Webinar Tue 14th May—Course Starts! 📣 And subscribe now to receive exclusive updates and secure your spot in this transformative journey.
