  • moving textile artisans communities towards a Sustainable Future a theoretical framework
    DRS2016: Design+Research+Society: Future-Focused Thinking, 2016
    Co-Authors: Francesco Mazzarella, Carolina M Escobartello, Val Mitchell
    Abstract:

    The current economic crisis is building momentum for designers to challenge the linear take-make-waste model and explore Sustainable strategies, services and systems. With this in mind, this research explores how service design can encourage textile artisans’ communities towards a Sustainable Future, providing social engagement, rescuing cultural heritage, boosting economic development and enhancing environmental stewardship. Service design is here proposed as an approach to empower such communities, co-design collaborative services and sustain innovations within an enabling ecosystem. The paper focuses on the first study of this research where a theoretical framework to help textile artisans’ communities transitioning to a Sustainable Future was co-developed with academic experts in the field. A Nominal Group Technique and semi-structure interviews were used to collect data; results and findings are presented as barriers, enablers and a manifesto to encourage a Sustainable Future. To conclude, next steps and challenges posed by the envisioned Future are discussed.

  • Innovations for Sustainable development: Moving toward a Sustainable Future
    Journal of Cleaner Production, 2019
    Co-Authors: Bruno S. Silvestre, Diana Mihaela Ţîrcă
    Abstract:

    Abstract The view that innovation is a key driver for sustainability is widely accepted among scholars, industry professionals, and government representatives. This is due to the fact that Sustainable development is a pressing issue that requires immediate action and changes from governments, industry, and society as whole. This article reviews the literature on innovations that can lead to transformations in individuals, organizations, supply chains, and communities toward a Sustainable Future. Although many of the articles explored in this review report on existing urgent environmental and social issues, their findings, recommendations, and contributions are encouraging as we make progress toward a Sustainable society through innovation and change. This article reviews the diversity of innovation for Sustainable Development in the literature, proposes a typology of such a phenomenon, provides an overview of key articles based on the primary subjects they address, and identifies a series of recommendations for the Future development of the field.
