Abstract

The theme track ‘Designing (for) Transitions and Transformations: Imagination, Climate Futures, and Everyday Lives’ at DRS 2024 includes 21 papers covering a wide range of approaches to design’s role in transformative change in the pursuit of sustainable, just and resilient futures. In this editorial, we present a variety of perspectives from conveners of this track in which we highlight what we each found interesting or noteworthy about the papers we read and how these affected our position towards the design, transitions and transformations field, but also the wider trends and calls for further work or different directions. Moreover, we reflect on our own perspectives on this emerging landscape, questioning how each of us uses design/transition methodologies in our own work, why we find these useful and which topics or themes we focus on.
