The Challenge
As part of the Design Thinking Basic Track at Hasso-Plattner-Institute Potsdam, my team received the following challenge from the Institute for Social-Ecological Research (ISOE) and the Center for Climate Change and Adaptation Hessen:
»Design a sustainable concept to communicate with local municipalities in one region in Hessen in order to gather information on their knowledge requirements regarding Climate Change Adaptation exampled by Urban Greenspace.«
While working on the challenge, my team and I got to know and apply the methods of design thinking. The method consists of the following six phases, which we used to work on the definition and solution of our problem:
After the ideation phase and testings of several ideas, we started to focus on the idea of a digital exchange platform between research institutes like ISOE and small municipalities:
The »Climate ExChange Platform« has the main purpose of enabling knowledge transfer from stakeholders with more knowledge about climate adaptation
to those with less by offering practical information to the people who work at a municipality level. There are three types of users for the prototype:
