Unsustainable patterns of consumption and production are the root cause of triple planetary crises; climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution. Design & Technologies Week is your opportunity to use the Design Thinking Process to tackle SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production.

Students will be given the exciting chance to participate in our competition, vying for incredible prizes. This competition encourages active involvement with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, with a specific focus on Sustainable Development Goal 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production. Our ultimate objective is to foster global sustainability.
