Although the totality of the consequences of climate change is still unknown, there are examples in regional ecosystems that raise serious environmental and economic concerns. Designers have an opportunity to make a positive contribution to the challenge of reducing emissions through research and innovation that helps affect the energy-consumption behavior of humans.

What Does Climate Change Have…
