Climate change is here. How do we design futures to cope with this new reality and adapt to the impacts? This podcast interweaves a wide range of perspectives from climate adaptation, climate science and design practices — everything to think about how we shape our lives in a climate-changed world. Each mini-series is a complement to workshops and activities happening around the world with the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design.
