What role does design play in ensuring that our next-generation designers and creatives have the right competencies to adapt and ride with the tide? Adopting a creative mindset is crucial for us to meet the challenges we are facing today. It is especially important for creative leaders, architects, designers and academics from diverse disciplines and their collaborators to lead by example, to forge a way towards a sustainable future and create more liveable conditions for generations to come. 

This roundtable discussion sets out to ask tough questions regarding our current situation: Are we doing enough? What should we change? How does design empower our change?
