Tools for a Warming Planet
by Sara Dean (IPA Fellow, Summer 2026), Beth Ferguson (current IPA Fellow), Marina Monsonís
We live on a planet in flux–with warming waters and land, chaotic weather, and unknown futures. Our adaptability and ingenuity are crucial to our survival, and our planet’s. In response to this condition, ‘Tools for a Warming Planet’ explores new tools for understanding, engaging, and responding to our current and future environment. Bringing together artists, designers, scientists, and activists, this crowd-sourced piece focuses on ‘tools’, as a call for action, access, and collective engagement. New tools are needed to build more adaptable, resilient communities, as well as to imagine new ways of living on a fragile planet.
