Want a greater chance of lasting change? Get more diverse actors around the table

Kate Goodwin

2022 English Equality & Equity Participation & Engagement

EU-wide climate action programmes draw together consortiums of actors – bureaucrats, civil society, consultancies – but these are commonly people of the same ethnicity and education. This is exclusive, and problematic. There’s many more actors with roles and ideas for change – artists, grassroots groups, researchers, and people with lived experience. Absence of diverse actor types diminishes collective agency for change.

Systemic change takes collaboration across diverse actors, centering those commonly marginalised from design processes. We’re an NGO working with EU governments on democratic climate action. We’ll share open source self-mapping tools made for bureaucrats to honestly examine which actors are excluded in climate work, because hearing the same voices repeatedly won’t solve the problems of our time. These tools are being used in the NetZeroCities project supporting up to 100 cities in reaching climate neutrality by 2030, and in other European-wide projects in areas of energy transition and nature-based solutions.

Kate Goodwin

Design & Research Specialist/ Democratic Society

Kate Goodwin is a Design & Research Specialist at Democratic Society (Demsoc). Based in Berlin, she works in Demsoc’s climate programme as part of the Research & Design team, helping to evolve the theory and practice of ‘climate democracy’. She also works on climate action programmes with government and civil society partners across Europe on topics including energy transition and nature-based solutions. She uses design to experiment with ways for people to make sense of complexity, to see the systems and processes around them, and where they hold the power to make change.

Prior to joining Demsoc, Kate worked as a strategic and user experience designer for consultancies Paper Giant and Health Wallace in Melbourne, Australia, in areas of social impact, criminal and disability justice, community legal education, social impact, and financial services. She was also a designer in a Australia-US higher education software product team.
