The Professional Certificate in Design for Climate Action (5 credit programme) will be offered to prospective learners in 2025/26. Design for Climate Action Programme We need creative, dynamic and purpose driven responses to climate challenges. A transformation in both systemic and behavioural aspects extending across within industries and communities to instil social and economic responses. Design for Climate Action seeks to awaken both current and future leaders, instigating a behavioural shift aligned with the pressing need for climate action. To meet Ireland’s net-zero goals we need to rethink and pivot to new models of behaviour to achieve green digital and social transformation. Design for Climate Action imagines real positive and impactful change to generate dynamic and creative concepts to address complex environmental and social challenges as a result of climate change. This course looks to equip emerging leaders with an awareness and understanding of climate change issues and the urgency for meaningful action, while also providing the design tools, methods and platforms to influence behavioural, personal, professional and sectoral change. Fostering a culture that not only embraces but also promotes agency and a shared community-ethos that substantively transforms perspective and behaviour towards climate action and responsibility. The Certificate in Design for Climate Action engages in a structured, experiential learning through thematic Design Research labs. Learners will undertake a topical, thematic design project with colleagues and creative peers, developed through teamwork, negotiation and collaboration, which leads them to an understanding of how they might shape sustainable collaboration cultures. The Task The CFA is looking for applications to research, design and deliver the content of the Professional Certificate in Design for Climate Action. The task is broken down into the following elements: Development: 35 hours - Research existing courses offered by other institutions (nationally and internationally) - in terms of publicity, content and format. - Curriculum design - the preparation of teaching materials.
