About this episode
The episode discusses the role of design in sustainable development and how it can help public bodies adapt to the climate crisis.

Host Gemma Casey is joined by Cory Hughes of Perago, Simon Griffiths of Ethos Chain and Joseph Kidd of Afallen LLP to discuss how applying the principles of design for planet can help public bodies rethink how they plan, procure, and deliver services.
