Visualising climate science: Design as a participatory foundation

In this edition of the IIID Conversations Angela Morelli will talk about how design can be used to foster clarity in a landscape where complexity and confusion can unintentionally fuel misinformation.

When addressing the science of climate change and its profound impact on humanity and nature, we encounter extraordinary complexity. Visualisation is often promoted as a powerful tool that can guide human beings in navigating that complexity. However, visualising climate science can confuse, disengage, misinform or polarise. Much of this depends on how we approach the design process.

How can we use Design to foster clarity in a landscape where complexity and confusion can unintentionally fuel misinformation?

Through case studies, Angela will share her journey in visualising climate science to inform decisions, create engagement, and capture the imagination of an audience.
