Discover how a carbon-centered approach to environmental challenges can revolutionize our understanding of sustainability, shifting from a mindset of scarcity to one of innovation and abundance. Learn about the potential for new materials, energy sources, and behaviors that emerge when designing for regenerative futures rather than merely sustainable presents. McCurdy, an award-winning designer and researcher, shares insights from her work on carbon-negative materials and discusses the intersection of emerging technology, futures, and existential threats. Gain inspiration from her concept of "determined optimism" and explore the exciting possibilities of 21st-century sustainability and climate tech. This thought-provoking presentation challenges conventional thinking and offers a fresh, optimistic outlook on addressing one of the most pressing issues of our time.
