The Design HOPES project aims to address \'greening the health sector\' through the potential of design-led thinking, making, and acting to tackle multifaceted health delivery and net zero challenges efficiently. It will generate tangible outcomes in innovative methods, products, services, and policies that promote sustainability across seven themes, including buildings and land, travel, care, communities and digital design.The research will also support and foster innovation in green enterprises and businesses to advance the transition to a more equitable and sustainable future.Green Transition Ecosystems (GTEs) are large-scale projects that focus on translating the best design-led research into real-world benefits. Capitalising on clusters of design excellence, GTEs will address distinct challenges posed by the climate crisis including, but not limited to, realising net zero goals. GTEs are the flagship funding strand of the £25m Future Observatory: Design the Green Transition programme, funded by the AHRC and delivered in partnership with the Design Museum, London.
