The sooner we confront this problem, and the sooner we realize there’s nothing we can do to save ourselves, the sooner we can get down to the hard work of adapting, with mortal humility, to our new reality. —Roy Scranton, 2013
The climate crisis is urgent. Temperatures and seas are rising, land is flooding, droughts are increasing, crops are devastated, biodiversity is diminishing, and migration is inevitable.
To generalize, science approaches the climate crisis through the posing of questions, the collection and analysis of data, and the advancement of knowledge. Political leaders push for frameworks to mobilize and pass legislation to build resiliency against climate change. Economists create incentive structures to drive alternative investments. Writers report on trends and narrate future scenarios. Philosophers prepare us for how to die in the Anthropocene.

Given this, here, we ask how can design act?
