What does designing for life mean in practice? Who is doing it? How we can help? I write, talk, advise, discuss. We also host offsites here in France .

This fascinating new platform/ecosystem is launched in India. We're esp. delighted that co-founder @s_srivatsa (along with @blnaveen) will tell us more at 'Care Value Place' @BITSDES in Mumbai next month.

Great that Future Observatory in the UK has secured £34 million (40m euros) research funding for 'Designing a greener tomorrow'. (It's less great that the money is tied to 'Net Zero' - but hey, we're all on a journey)
