Transition Templates: Pathways to Net Zero

该项目将利用设计技能和知识为英国经济的五个部门创造净零和更广泛的可持续发展过渡路径。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流程。我们将与Livework可持续未来实验室合作，为英国五个部门的社会技术转型进行参与式系统绘制和系统服务设计流程：家庭能源使用、食品、时尚、交通和机构能源使用。我们将建设能力，在每个部门设想、制定和实施净零提案。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，在可持续发展设计、复杂性的视觉交流、系统设计和负责任的设计方面具有背景。这个项目基于他们的集体分析，即在目前的单一客户客户设计商业模式下，很难实现可持续的过渡。可持续发展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，并将外部组织带入这个协作空间。该项目将极大地加速这一方向，同时开发可用于促进整个部门的系统性过渡的战略设计成果。将采用一种新的过渡模板设计流程，以设想提供服务和货物的低碳模式。第一步是综合规划现有工作、专家和利益攸关方协商以及参与性系统规划。这一进程将为每个部门制定过渡模板和时间表。我们将使用变革的过渡设计理论，通过系统的绘图实践来绘制不同层次上的过渡，以创建显示不同阶段和水平上的行动计划的大型视觉模板。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阐明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，而且还可以成为制定评价制度的基础，以便对过渡的级别和阶段进行分类。这项工作将力求通过建立分类系统来评估和通报不同程度和(或)过渡阶段的情况，从而鼓励最佳做法。我们将设计成果，为整个部门的社会技术转型提供信息，并建立评估通信系统，以应对绿化的有害影响。同样的过程将轮流应用于五个部门。现有文献的绘图综合以及参与性系统绘图和专家协商进程将为过渡模板和时间表的制定提供信息。我们将使用系统设计和服务设计方法来规划过渡路径，并设计评估系统来识别、评估、分类和传达过渡级别。该项目将产生传播设计成果(系统图、模板和时间表)；报告(每个部门一份，并在最后报告中收集)；以及公众参与成果，如展览材料(即系统图作为海报)和其他学习资源。所有设计成果都将在项目网站上免费提供。我们还将发表学术研究(期刊论文)。设计成果将鼓励分类系统的最佳实践，以沟通净零和可持续发展过渡的不同水平和阶段。

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.
