Abstract

Exhibition dates: 6 December 2024 - 17 January 2025
Venue: V&A Design Museum, Dundee, UK

A display that explores the link between our health and the health of our planet

Design HOPES is working with NHS Scotland as part of the AHRC and Future Observatory Green Transition Ecosystems programme. Using design-led research and collaborative working, they are identifying barriers and opportunities around meaningful change.

Exploring the idea that the climate emergency is a health emergency, Design HOPES are creating, prototyping and testing the tools, behaviours and systems needed to meet, and move beyond, urgent Net Zero goals.

This work-in-progress display marks an exciting milestone in the first year of Design HOPES, giving an insight on the people, processes and progress of this transformational initiative, and asks ‘How can design help us live healthier lives, for people and planet?’

Design HOPES (Healthy Organisations in a Place-based Ecosystem Scotland) is funded by the Arts & Humanities Research Council, and is part of the Future Observatory progamme, Design Museum, London.
