    EQUITY IN ACTION: AMPLIFYING VOICES IN CLIMATE ACTION

    Who bears the brunt of climate change, and why are their voices so often missing from the conversation? This panel session explores how underrepresented groups in climate action—women, informal workers, and farming communities—can move from being disproportionately affected to becoming active co-creators of climate solutions. Through real-world examples and personal experiences, our panellists will discuss the barriers to inclusion, the potential of community-driven change, and strategies to shift public narratives from blame to constructive dialogue.

    DESIGNING THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Dive into the art of systems thinking to tackle today’s most pressing sustainability challenges. This workshop introduces participants to tools like ecosystem mapping, causal loop diagrams, and speculative design to uncover hidden connections and address root causes in complex systems. Using real-world scenarios—such as urban waste management and transportation networks—participants will learn to design holistic solutions that go beyond linear problem-solving. Whether you’re a design student, policymaker, or NGO professional, this session will equip you with a new lens to approach sustainable innovation.
