UK Design Council Better Future - Environmental Sustainability

A landmark festival to galvanise and support the UK’s design industry to commit to a sustainable, climate-first future.

This two-day event provided a platform for visionaries across the sector who are leading the way in sustainability and climate action, and supports others in the industry to prioritise the welfare of our planet in their work.

Design for Planet welcomed over 100 invited experts and was livestreamed to thousands of online participants.

Design Council’s work chimes with the UK Government’s One Step Greener campaign to create a mass movement of green steps to culminate in large collective action.
