Overview

We believe that envisioning the future leads to new choices and opportunities.  Living Climate Change, an online community hosted by IDEO, a global design and innovation firm, curates a conversation designed to move the dialog about climate change toward inspiring, human-centered scenarios that create new choices for business and society.

The Living Climate Change video challenge, presented by IDEO and hosted by DESIGN 21, invites you to express what life will be like in 20 to 30 years as we move along a path toward reduced carbon emissions.

Design Brief

Create a video no more than 2 minutes in length about how climate change will impact our lives over the next two to three decades.  Show us your vision of a future shaped by climate change.  Looking beyond the doom and gloom and the policy discussions that have dominated the debate, how would you envision a sustainable future from a human-centered perspective? Which behaviors will change?  Which will be preserved?  Design your short videos or still image/text animations to inspire change, through fresh thinking, new choices, and new opportunities.

Thought starters

This video showcase on climate change is more than a contest.  It is a call for new thinking that leads to new choices, conversations, and opportunities.

Frame the challenge: How do you see climate change affecting your life?

Future, not far-out: 20 to 30 years isn’t so far off (see LivingClimateChange.com for inspiration).

Context: Ground your scenarios in thoughtful insights and facts. Tell us why your ideas — big or seemingly small, everyday or extraordinary — matter.

Change: Which behaviors will need to change? Which will be preserved?

Impact: What is the scale of impact for your idea?

Inspire: Help the conversation move past all the doom and gloom.
