Abstract
Future Island-Island is a design-led research project developing an eco-friendly approach for small islands to manage waste and sustainably preserve heritage through digital technologies.
Future Island-Island explores community-informed approaches to the green transition through co-design and place-based engagement.
Working closely with the offshore island community of Rathlin (Northern Ireland) as both a lens and a teacher, we explore a diversity of community ideas and approaches to shaping a just green transition.
Future Island-Island is one of four UK Green Transition Ecosystems (GTEs), funded by the AHRC and supported by the Design Museum. These large-scale projects focus on translating design-led research into real-world benefits.
This project harnesses the potential of small countries to positively transform waste culture and behaviour, organisational change, policy, and innovation through applied design and digital worldbuilding in harmony between planet and people.
The project aims to protect and enhance the local environment and community resilience against climate change impacts. Climate resilience is enabled through design interventions, and this can reduce the vulnerability of place specific geographies, create sustainable economic opportunities and improve environmental health.
