Frequent and severe environmental problems have led people to realize the importance of sustainablility. Design thinking provides new solutions to sustainable products and services and opens up more accessible paths to a more conscious world. How do we approach sustainable design in our daily life? What are the challenges of eco-friendly product design in the supply chain? How can design help raise awareness of environmental crisis in schools, communities and other public spaces? Could design connect the worlds of business and environmental protection? In this event, Jonas Pettersson (CEO and co-founder of Form Us With Love) and a panel of academics will show us how to tackle sustainability challenges with design thinking with their inspiring stories. The speech will be followed by student showcases and time for Q&A.
