Design for Planet
Cat Drew
Chief Design Officer at the Design Council
Cat Drew will set out the Design Council’s new Design for Planet mission and how design is critical in creatively addressing the climate emergency. She will give inspiring examples from the world of design in creating resilient places with communities, developing a circular – and regenerative economy with Mother Nature, and shifting our behaviours to more sustainable ones, inclusively with everyone. She will give a rallying cry for the 1.97m strong UK design community to be part of this bigger mission, and set out ways in which you as individual designers can be part of this movement.
