Design thinking has emerged as a powerful approach to tackling complex challenges, particularly those related to climate change and social issues. As explained by Terry Irwin, Professor at Carnegie Mellon University and co-originator of Transition Design, this methodology integrates transdisciplinary perspectives to address "wicked problems"—deeply interconnected global issues like climate change, polarisation, and poverty. Unlike traditional solutions, which often impose fixes, design thinking fosters systemic interventions by understanding the problem's root causes and the specific needs of stakeholders.
