Abstract

We live on a planet in flux--warming waters and land, chaotic weather, and unknown futures. Our adaptability and ingenuity are crucial to our collective survival, and our planet’s ability to thrive. In response to this condition, innovative new tools for understanding, engaging, and responding to our current and future environment are needed. Tools for a Warming Planet is a crowd-sourced collection of 50 tools that engage in the urgency of climate change. This community archive and living lab was created by using print and digital submission tools shared by a variety of art, design, and cultural institutions. The collection represents submissions from around the globe, from scientists, citizen groups, designers, artists, students, and activists. Bridging science, design, ecology, technology, and activism, the tools submitted help create more resilient communities, healthy environments, shared data, and nimble responses to adapting to a warming planet.
