Description

An online workshop with The C Collective on how to apply Lean UX principles and planetary boundaries thinking to your climate solution.

About this Webinar

Working on digital products leveraging environmental data?

You already know the challenge:

Data quality and quantity do not necessarily lead to action.

 

Join us for a practical 1-hour session designed for founders, technical, product or marketing leads working at the intersection of tech, climate, and data.

 

What you’ll learn

✅ Why environmental data tools often fail to drive action

✅ How to apply Lean UX to balance scientific integrity with design simplicity

✅ How to use Planetary Boundaries as a design lens

✅ Real-world UX insights from existing platforms

 

You'll be able to:

✅ Identify where your product is overwhelming users instead of guiding them

✅ Redesign key flows so users understand what action to take next

✅ Balance scientific rigour with usability without dumbing down

✅ Make your product feel indispensable to users

Whether you're launching or scaling your impact, this session will help you reframe how you approach product and user experience design in environmental tech solutions.

 

You’ll also see behind-the-scenes case studies:

  • A dashboard empowering a UK citizen assembly to visualise the impact of its decisions on energy demand and emissions reduction.
  • A forest carbon monitoring platform designed for regenerative forestry practices
  • A LCA tool redesigned to help fashion designers make better decisions—not just report emissions

 

Who should attend

  • Founders of climate and sustainability startups
  • CTOs / CPOs building platforms around climate data, carbon, biodiversity, or lifecycle tools
  • CMOs or product marketers looking to turn features into meaningful narratives
  • UX or data leads working with complex datasets in the environmental space
