Climate Futurism | Science and Society

When it comes to climate change, much of our cultural imagery is apocalyptic. The result is that most of us can’t realistically imagine getting it right. And if we can’t imagine possible climate futures, we can’t create them. This is design’s time to shine. Practically and tangibly, design—from buildings and technology, to materials and processes—shapes how we experience and move through the world, what we value and how we interact with it. Given how much the climate has already changed, and how much more change is inevitable, we urgently need design to lead us toward a transformed world.

Salvage punk artist Olalekan Jeyifous and MoMA curator Paola Antonelli join ecologist, policy expert, and Climate Futurism curator Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson to discuss design’s role in addressing the climate crisis.

This project is supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Program in Public Understanding of Science and Technology, bridging the two cultures of science and the arts.
