This workshop addresses the urgent need for transformative shifts in lifestyles, particularly in the Global North, to limit global warming to 1.5°C. It explores how companies can harness technology-driven innovation and sustainable design to facilitate this transition. Drawing on Raz Godelnik’s Business-Driven 1.5°C Lifestyles Framework (BD1.5LF), participants will work on industry-specific scenarios to tackle real-world challenges, with a focus on the Innovation and Sustainable Design opportunity area. The session will emphasize the importance of balancing radical thinking with innovation and demonstrate how businesses can redesign their approach to climate action. By harnessing technological innovation through a designerly approach, companies can support the shift to 1.5°C lifestyles, which, in turn, will advance their efforts to meet climate targets.
Presented by Parsons School of Design and the Schools of Public Engagement  at The New School. Best Research Paper prize sponsored by Springer

The virtual Management and Social Justice Conversation Series is for those interested in critical and generative approaches to management scholarship, teaching, and practice based on relevant, topical, and invigorating social theories. The series presenters will present work that is focused on inclusion in workplaces as well as questions of racial, ecological, economic, and gender injustice, and that goes beyond the historical agendas of business schools and for-profit corporations, including profit maximization, and managerialist agendas.
