Tuesday 20 October
How can design strengthen the Earth’s natural resilience and create space for regeneration?
This Mission Day focuses on the transition towards systems, products and materials that deplete less and give more back. Talks, sessions and meet-ups explore topics including circularity, regenerative design, biodiversity and new ways of valuing resources and knowledge.
For who?
The day is relevant to professionals working in the circular economy, energy, agriculture, water and food. Designers, material developers, manufacturing companies, researchers, environmental organisations and policymakers working on climate adaptation, supply chains or waste and resource flows can also share knowledge and forge new connections.
