Design thinking has emerged as a powerful approach to tackling complex challenges, particularly those related to climate change and social issues. As explained by Terry Irwin, Professor at Carnegie Mellon University and co-originator of Transition Design, this methodology integrates transdisciplinary perspectives to address "wicked problems"—deeply interconnected global issues like climate change, polarisation, and poverty. Unlike traditional solutions, which often impose fixes, design thinking fosters systemic interventions by understanding the problem's root causes and the specific needs of stakeholders. By fostering collaboration among diverse groups and addressing problems on multiple levels, design thinking offers a framework for creating sustainable, equitable futures that consider not just human needs but the health of the entire ecosystem. [00:40] - About Terry Irwin Terry is a Professor at the School of Design and the Director of the Transition Design Institute at Carnegie Mellon University She is one of the Co-originators of Transition Design, a transdisciplinary approach to addressing the many complex and wicked problems confronting 21st-century societies. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tbcy/support

Ethan Elkind, a leading climate scientist, led us initially into an understanding of why climate goals were not being met and how that affects overall messaging. From there he spoke of the importance of battery technology, solar and wind renewable energies, and transition to minerals such as lithium, cobalt and graphite. He emphasized the need for care in the mining sector where he sees a window for change and the building of better grids. We then spoke of "lifestyle" changes, the need for more housing and a culture too centered on cars. Ethan spoke about desalination and water and the issue of equity vis-à-vis the carbon imprint of developing countries. Ethan emphasized the importance of addressing climate problems systemically via low carbon biofuels and policy actions. He spoke of AI as being bad for climate but expressed optimism about hydrogen and the progress made in renewables. He addressed the killing nature of heat and stated that air conditioning will become a human right and he suggested other ways around heat but noted the inevitability of fewer habitable places and mass migration. He spoke of L.A. as a leader of mass transit and highlighted the need for a different tax policy and the fact that mangroves matter and corruption in the battery supply chain remains an ongoing problem. Food waste was added as a big issue because of methane. Ethan said, "We can buy a couple of decades if we decrease methane emissions but there is a lot to do." We talked about the Native American non-profit he started and his work with tribes to improve governance. We concluded with discussing environmental work having triage to it and asking what Ethan would advise students. Ethan answered with "Do what you feel most passionate about and match it up to the most urgent needs."

We all know cutting emissions is the solution, yet governments and companies seem no closer to meeting the goals that scientists say we must hit. It can feel hopeless.There is one possible controversial solution to climate change many in the mainstream haven't discussed. It's so controversial, in fact, that some experts say we shouldn't even be discussing it. But University of Chicago Professor David Keith says we need to talk about it.
