Design for Change

Creative action for social and sustainable impact

We need everything and everyone to take action on the climate emergency and social justice challenges humankind faces today. Designers too have many contributions to make, and we are offering one here: a platform for those who want to create meaningful change using the power of design for social and sustainable impact. Based on more than ten years of experience with empowering change through design around the world, What Design Can Do has created this resource. A deep dive in the archives of the design challenges it ran resulted in what you can find here: actionable knowledge.
