Transition Templates: Pathways to Net Zero

该项目将运用设计技巧和知识，在英国经济的五个部门中为净零排放和更广泛的可持续性转型创造途径。拉夫堡设计与创意艺术学院的设计研究员Joanna Boehnert博士将与服务设计机构Livework合作，在可持续发展学者和系统服务设计师之间建立一个知识交流过程。在Livework可持续未来实验室工作，我们将在英国的五个部门为社会技术转型进行参与式系统绘图和系统服务设计过程：家庭能源使用；食物;时尚;运输和机构能源使用。我们将在每个部门建立设想、制定和实施净零提案的能力。Livework是一家独立的战略服务设计工作室，在英国、荷兰和圣保罗设有办事处，是服务设计的先驱。Joanna Boehnert博士是一名设计学者，拥有可持续性设计、复杂性视觉传达、系统设计和负责任设计的背景。这个项目是基于他们的集体分析，即在当前的设计商业模式中，单一客户很难实现可持续的转变。可持续转型需要系统级的设计形式。Livework可持续未来实验室旨在促进这一层面的设计创新工作，并将外部组织引入这一协作空间。该项目将大大加速这一方向，同时开发可用于促进整个行业系统性转型的战略设计成果。一个新的转型模板设计过程将被应用于设想提供服务和商品的低碳模式。第一步是现有工作的综合制图、专家和利益攸关方协商以及参与性系统制图。这一过程将为每个部门的过渡模板和时间表的创建提供信息。我们将使用产品化设计的变革理论来绘制不同层次上的产品化，并采用系统的映射实践来创建大规模的可视化模板，显示不同阶段和层次上的行动计划。我们将与可持续发展科学家、研究人员和实践者合作，使用新的设计实践来表达和可视化他们的建议。过渡模板和时间表不仅可以用来指导每个部门的行动计划，而且还可以作为发展评价制度的基础，对过渡的各级和阶段进行分类。这项工作将通过建立分类制度来评估和交流不同层次和（或）过渡阶段，寻求鼓励最佳做法。我们将设计成果，为整个行业的社会技术转型提供信息，并建立评估沟通系统，以应对“漂绿”的有害影响。同样的程序将轮流适用于五个部门中的每一个部门。对现有文献的制图综合以及参与性系统制图和专家协商进程将为制定过渡模板和时间表提供信息。我们将使用系统设计和服务设计方法来绘制转换路径和设计评估系统，以识别、评估、分类和沟通转换级别。该项目将产生通信设计成果（系统图，模板和时间表）；报告（每个部门一份，收集在最终报告中）；公众参与成果，如展览材料（即系统地图作为海报）和其他学习资源。设计成果将在项目网站上免费提供。我们也将发表学术研究（期刊论文）。设计成果将鼓励分类系统的最佳实践，以交流净零和可持续性过渡的不同级别和阶段。

This project will use design skills and knowledge to create pathways for Net Zero and wider sustainability transitions in five sectors of the UK economy. Design researcher Dr. Joanna Boehnert of Loughborough School of Design and the Creative Arts will work with the service design agency Livework to set up a knowledge exchange process between sustainability scholars and systemic-service designers. Working within the Livework Sustainable Futures Lab, we will conduct participatory systems mapping and systemic-service design processes for socio-technological transitions in five sectors in the UK: household energy use; food; fashion; transport and institutional energy use. We will build capacities to envision, develop, and enact Net Zero proposals in each sector. Livework is an independent strategic service design studio with offices in UK, Netherlands and Sao Paulo and a pioneer in service design. Dr. Joanna Boehnert is a design academic with a background in design for sustainability, the visual communication of complexity, systemic design, and responsible design. This project is based on their collective analysis that sustainable transitions are difficult to achieve within current design business models with single client customers. Sustainability transitions require systems-level forms of design. The Livework Sustainable Futures Labs aims to facilitate design innovation work at this level and bring outside organisations into this collaborative space. This project will significantly accelerate this direction while developing strategic design outcomes that can be used to facilitate systemic transitions in entire sectors. A new Transition Template design process will be applied to envision low carbon models for the delivery of services and goods. The first step is synthesis mapping of existing work, expert and stakeholder consultation, and participatory system mapping. This process will inform the creation of transition templates and timelines for each sector. We will use the Transition Design theory of change to plot transition on different levels with systemic mapping practices to create large-scale visual templates displaying action plans on different stages and levels. We will work with sustainability scientists, researchers and practitioners using new design practices to articulate and visualise their proposals. The transition templates and timelines can not only be used to guide action plans in each sector but also become a basis for development of evaluation systems to categorise levels and stages of transition. The work will seek to encourage best practice by creating classification systems to assess and communicate different levels and/or stages of transition. We will design outcomes to inform socio-technological transformation of entire sectors along with assessment communication systems to counter the deleterious impact of greenwashing.The same process will be applied to each of five sectors in rotation. The mapping synthesis of existing literature along with a participatory system mapping and expert consultation process will inform the creation of the transition templates and timelines. We will use systemic design and service design approaches to map transition pathways and design assessment systems to identity, evaluate, categorise, and communicate levels of transition. The project will result in communication design outcomes (system maps, templates and timelines); reports (one for each sector and collected in a final report); and public engagement outcomes such as exhibition material (i.e. systems map as posters) and other learning resources. Design outcomes will all be freely available on the project website. We will also publish academic research (journal papers). Design outcomes will encourage best practice with classification systems to communicate different levels and stages of Net Zero and sustainability transition.
