Ultra Mega Jam

A regular design jam tackling the big issues.
Open to all abilities, experience levels and disciplines.

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

Unless we achieve immediate, drastic, unprecedented, annual emission cuts at the source then that means we’re failing when it comes to this climate crisis.
“Small steps in the right direction”, “making some progress” or “winning slowly” equals loosing.

We made a playlist of climate- and protest-themed music for our first Ultra Mega called "✨Ultra Mega Jams ✨".

It's ever growing and got some real bangers on it! Wonder if there's any crossover...

Green cities, green countries and a green world means green companies and *definitely* green jobs!

Tackling climate change has to be intersectional- it must tackle poverty, discrimination and racial and social inequality too!

#TheFutureWeWant #DesignThinking #SustainableFutures

[C40 Cities @c40cities]

Green jobs can foster healthier, thriving cities, reduce poverty, and enhance social inclusion.

To build #TheFutureWeWant and champion a just transition to an equitable economy, we must create more green jobs today.

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

What’s wrong with this 🌍 map?

Wealthy countries are blocking a proposal that would allow more countries to manufacture & access #COVID19 medical tools. No one is safe until everyone is safe. World leaders must support #TRIPSWaivers now!

[Ultra Mega Jam @UltraMegaJam]

What can we do as citizens to make #BigBusiness change their #sustainability practices?

It's all very well individuals recycling and walking to work but how can we make the biggest polluters change their ways?

As well as engaging world leaders, it is important to trust that locals know what they need and what will work.

Working towards #ZeroHunger means empowering and investing in local farmers and producers over mass-production.

👩‍🌾👨‍🌾 Family farmers have been innovating since the dawn of agriculture. But to address new challenges they need new ideas.

Dear white parents,

Talk to your children about race and racism.

They're not too young.

Children who are not white are dealing with racism from birth, and their parents are probably talking to them about it as soon as they can speak.

Racism is white people's problem.
