Building on our previous exploration of wicked problems in tech, this co-creation workshop zeroes in on the critical challenge of communicating sustainability effectively. In an era dominated by AI-powered tech with escalating carbon footprints, genuine sustainability efforts struggle for visibility. This workshop directly addresses how we, as a collective within the tech world, can effectively communicate sustainable practices to all stakeholders – from developers and designers to executives and end-users.
Workshop methodology: We'll use the iceberg model to dissect the current state of sustainability communication within tech, exposing why it is difficult for the tech world to take climate action seriously.
