Rise and Design: Designing a Just Transition Towards Net Zero
Workshop with RTC North, Newcastle University & Northern Net Zero Accelerator
Advancing sustained research, design, and innovation is essential to achieving our regional decarbonisation objectives. These efforts must be supported by proactive strategies that ensure a just transition to net zero, addressing sociotechnical disparities, empowering communities, and promoting long-term regional growth.
Join us for this special Rise and Design event, part of Tyne Design Week 2025, as we explore the role of design and the potential for collaboration with regional Higher Education Institutions (HEI) in developing innovative solutions that advance regional initiatives and drive sustained economic growth.
We will hear from leading researchers and creatives operating at the intersection of design, research innovation, and social justice, as they address the challenges of achieving regional decarbonisation and highlight funding opportunities for future collaborative efforts. From circular economy initiatives and low-carbon transport to community-led environmental projects, this event will demonstrate how purposeful design can contribute to building a greener, more equitable future for all.
Whether you’re a designer, policymaker, academic or activist, this event will leave you with fresh ideas, practical insights, and new connections to support your work on the road to Net Zero.
