DEPD 3560
New Extremes - Future Designing for Climate Adaptation
Despite the warnings of scientists around the world and multiple reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the world is still on a path for extreme climate disruption. Students will be introduced to the science behind climate change, and they will learn about its causes, trajectories, possible scenarios, and main constraints to minimize its effects; together with its relation to loss of biodiversity, poverty, inequality, over consumption, and other systemic issues as a meta crisis to confront. They will then focus on analyzing how these factors are already impacting regional ecosystems and communities, and how it will increase in severity in the short and long-term future. Based on these learnings, experiences and reflections students will propose design interventions through a community-based participatory research approach, that should be aimed at adapting Canadian social, industrial and economic practices to these new extremes.
