The Living Climate Change Video Challenge March 10th, 2010 | Post Comments

Looking to inspire new choices through positive, design-centered thinking, IDEO launched the Living Climate Change initiative last fall.

Its goal is to extend the dialogue beyond policy and politics and toward inspiring, human-centered scenarios that create new possibilities for business and society.

Now IDEO is partnering with DESIGN 21 to create the Living Climate Change Video Challenge.

People of all ages are asked to craft videos that envision a sustainable future as society moves along the path toward reduced carbon emissions.

“Living Climate Change is an open invitation to designers and non-designers alike to think creatively about an issue that impacts us all,” said Jennifer Leonard, IDEO designer and co-editor of Livingclimatechange.

“Our hope is that it will stimulate the kind of dialogue that creates community, supports optimism and inspires new choices.”

The Living Climate Change Video Challenge calls for an original video that envisions how climate change will impact life on Earth over the next 20 to 30 years.

Deadline for entries is May 25, 2010.

He was one of twelve to receive the honor for their outstanding achievements and support of the arts. The medals were presented by the president and Mrs. Michele Obama in an East Room ceremony at the White House.
