Building Inclusive Climate Resilience with Human-Centered Design in Government
This workshop explores the intersection of Human-Centered Design (HCD), climate resilience, and civic tech—not just how local governments apply HCD principles to climate action, but also what supports or hinders their efforts in developing tech-enabled climate solutions.
Climate resilience work in local government is complex—it requires meaningful community engagement, inclusive decision-making, and access to the right tech, data, and resources. But what enables municipalities to do this work well? And what stands in the way, especially given shifting federal policies?
This workshop explores the intersection of Human-Centered Design (HCD), climate resilience, and civic tech—not just how local governments apply HCD principles to climate action, but also what supports or hinders their efforts in developing tech-enabled climate solutions.
What to expect:
- 🏛️ A moderated Q&A discussion with local government staff, sharing real-world insights on the opportunities and barriers to effective climate tech resilience efforts.
- 🤝 Strategies for engaging communities and co-designing climate tech-enabled solutions that reflect their needs.
