Design for Planet Principles

A set of systemic and planet-focused principles that guide the method and ways of working on a project.

Purpose of this tool:

These principles are a starting point for designing systemically and inclusively with the planet in mind.

Considering them at the outset of a project will help your team come together to explore ways of working and raise the ambition of the project.

Why this tool is important:

Systemic design is about more than following a different design process. It is about adopting a systemic mindset, which in turn leads to behaviour change. These principles are a starting point for this shift, providing a frame of reference for thinking and working in a different way.

What you need to begin:

To do this exercise, you need to gather as a team. We recommend inviting stakeholders who are closely involved in the project for this exercise too.
