The Global Solutions Lab: Students and young professionals from around the world* are coming to the 2022 Lab. They will be briefed by UN experts (from UNDP, UNEP, WHO, UNESCO, and other agencies), and learn, as part of a collaborative, interdisciplinary, multicultural, inter-generational team of like-minded change-makers from around the world, how to develop solutions to real-world problems and st
rategies for achieving the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals. At Lab’s end, participants present their work to a group of UN, corporate, philanthropic and NGO leaders who provide feedback and ways of strengthening their solutions. Results are published in the book "Designs For a World That Works For All", that comes out later in the year. Last year’s work can be seen and obtained here (https://designsciencelab.com/resources-ii/). Participants learn about leadership, problem solving, global problems, technology, resources, and options. They meet others with similar passions about the state of the world— and what we can do to make things better. The Global Solutions Lab is where solutions to global and local problems are developed— by you.

Other areas of focus include climate change, food, and regenerative cities. For more info, see: http://designsciencelab.com/what-is-the-lab/
