“…Previous studies have already signposted the importance of foresight in informing design processes (Ferrulli, Giraldo Nohra, et al, 2019;Gordon et al, 2019;Ojasalo & Ojasalo, 2015). The current complexity, uncertainty and volatility of our macro environment makes it essential for organizations to adopt a longer-thinking timeframe for their strategic plans, so that their service offering remains attractive in the future (Bühring & Liedtka, 2018) and they can not only cope with the effects of climate change but rather contribute to a more sustainable future (Reitsma et al, 2017).…”

“…One particular area of interest has been how the combination of design and foresight can be used as a core method to foster longer-term thinking and to instill more sustainable ways of thinking (Reitsma et al, 2017). Here, studies are sparse and little has been said about how the combination of service design and foresight can foster longer-term and sustainable practices in design projects.…”

This paper explores how service design practitioners can incorporate foresight methods as a way to foster longer-term thinking and sustainable practices in design projects. Our findings highlight that service design agencies might not always be equipped to offer to their clients a structured integrated foresight and service design approach. This paper presents the preliminary results of a 15-month study, which was also articulated into a series of co-creation workshops aimed at exploring possible ways in which foresight can be integrated within service design practices.

“…Their findings support the idea that a design approach can foster more inclusive governance processes. Reitsma et al [103] studied how climate fiction stories can be used as a prompt to engage different societal stakeholders and experts in debates around moral, ethical, and societal issues in the transition towards a low-emission society. The authors suggest how these stories can potentially "be extended as a tool to back-cast societal change and policy making" [103].…”

In the past decades, industrial design practice and research have focused extensively on how to optimize production and consumption, as a way to prevent negative environmental impacts, such as resource depletion, pollution, and excessive waste. Recently, the “circular economy” concept is increasingly used to achieve environmental benefits and economic growth simultaneously. Industrial design can contribute to a circular economy by fostering systems changes to achieve durability, optimal reuse, refurbishment, remanufacturing, and recycling of products and materials. Indeed, researchers have examined both the theoretical and practical aspects of how design knowledge can support the transition to a circular economy. However, this body of knowledge has not been systematically analyzed yet. To address this critical gap, this paper poses the following question: How has industrial design research so far contributed to advancing the circular economy knowledge? Accordingly, we survey relevant design literature focusing on the circular economy, through a review of contributions published in 42 scientific journals. Based on our results, we discuss how industrial design practices can potentially contribute to a circular economy across four thematic areas: (1) design for circular production processes, (2) design for circular consumption, (3) design to support policy towards the circular economy, and (4) design education for the circular economy.

“…In this section, we describe the design process, in which we explored a balance between amount of information and detail we give, while aiming to connect to people on an emotional level, without steering towards climate anxiety. Our explorations were informed by ten interviews and a workshop (see Reitsma et al (2017) with experts in the field of carbon footprint data (for example in life cycle assessment and policy making). Our own research team consisted of five researchers with expertise in digital service development, anthropology, interaction design, experience design and industrial design.…”

Spilltime: Designing for the relationship between QS, CO2e and climate goals

In order to deal with major climate challenges, different climate goals have been set. These goals are on an abstract, political level, making them difficult to understand for citizens. This is a problem, since in order to reach a sustainable society, all layers in society should be involved. We present a design process, in which we made invisible carbon emission goals tangible so that citizens can relate to them. By extracting different modes of carbon footprint feedback and translating those into a network of objects, we have provided an alternative viewpoint on how to involve people into understanding complex data. By giving different modes of feedback, people can find different ways to relate to the data. This way, the designer provides the tools, but people can use it to shape their own understanding. We consider this approach relevant in empowering citizens to voice their concerns in the climate debate.
