Promoting positive thinking about the future, Living Climate Change uses creative videos and design to envision the world of the coming decades and how creativity can effect global change.
A project of design company IDEO, the site includes inventive video shorts that range from the earthy (mycologist Paul Stamets’ “6 Ways Mushrooms Can Save the World”) to the philosophical (Dutch artist Ap Verheggen’s “Climate Change Equals Culture Change”). It also recently teamed with DESIGN 21 for the Living Climate Change Video Challenge, calling for filmmakers to capture their “vision of a future shaped by climate change, as we move along the path toward reduced carbon emissions.”
