About Global Goals Jam:
Global Goals Jam, an event of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), which was established to create a global development network, aims to respond to the problems faced by the world at different scales and priorities with solutions to be brought by interdisciplinary collaborations, with short-term interventions that can have a long-term impact until 2030, It initiates improvements on 17 main themes focused on by the Sustainable Development Goals.
Participants who will come together digitally will enter a process of co-creation depending on the 2030 global goals. Among the participants and mentors will be designers, researchers, sustainability experts, and creative professionals from various disciplines.
We need global cooperation to solve the issues we face today. For this reason, we explore alternatives by localizing the themes determined within the scope of Global Goals Jam, seeking solutions to the local reflections of the issues. In the 2021 edition of the Global Goals Design Marathon; We are focusing on the climate crisis, which is the biggest issue we face in the next 10 years. The climate crisis is a thorny problem both because of its scope that concerns our planet and because it intersects with other Sustainable Development Goals. Therefore, the themes of 2021 have merged with thematic themes that involve the intersection of multiple global goals.
Issues:
Climate Justice
How can we transform the discussions about the climate crisis from being about the news of greenhouse gas emissions and the melting of the poles to a social movement, where those most affected by the climate crisis seek their rights?
Beyond Human-Centered Design
How can we design like nature? How can design processes and our ideas about design change with planet-centered processes? What would happen if nature, living things and non-human elements were our main focus in our design approaches?
Restorative Cities
How can we create a healthier and more sustainable relationship with nature? How can we strengthen the relationship between urban systems and urban communities? How can we design our cities not only to be more sustainable but to be ecological systems that repairs the planet?
