Combatting Climate Misinformation through Design Systems

Design possesses the power not only to create new things but also to illuminate matters that are often in the dark. As a design strategist, my task is to observe the world around me and discern how I can utilize these methods to effect positive change.

I developed a comprehensive map of the complex system that propels climate misinformation, revealing a pivotal insight that became the foundation of my thesis: “Climate denial isn’t created by people who ignore climate change evidence. Climate denial and false information are intentional products of a sponsored system.’’ Applying a design strategy approach, I wanted to unravel and address the complexities of this web.
