Futuros Cero Neto más que humanos Diseño participativo disruptivo para un planeta sostenible y equitativo
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Desde la industria hasta el mundo académico, pasando por la formulación de políticas, gran parte del discurso predominante sobre la sostenibilidad se centra en la transición hacia el llamado “futuro Cero Neto”. Esta visión se centra en la mitigación del cambio climático provocado por el hombre mediante la descarbonización de la sociedad industrial, principalmente a través de una mayor innovación y adopción de tecnologías emergentes. Este artículo argumenta que la investigación en diseño debe alejarse de estas narrativas reduccionistas y solucionistas, y desarrollar un enfoque disruptivo e inclusivo para el diseño de futuros Cero Netos. En respuesta a la complejidad del cambio climático, este artículo propone un nuevo marco conceptual que ayude a los profesionales del diseño a desafiar el insostenible statu quo tecnocéntrico. Basado en una confluencia de métodos especulativos, participativos y centrados más que en el ser humano, el documento describe cómo este enfoque puede estimular una estrecha colaboración entre diseñadores y redes de partes interesadas.
