Abstract

The article is devoted to an interdisciplinary analysis of the potential of the participatory design approach. The direction of the considerations is determined by strategies for counteracting the climate crisis. The aim of the article is to critically analyze modernist design, which is the source of contemporary crises. According to the authors, the participatory design approach is its alternative. They consider it to be one of the main ways of necessary change. The authors formulate the thesis that the design approach plays a key role in strategies for counteracting the climate crisis and can significantly affect both environmental changes and the quality of social existence. The articleis a theoretical analysis of selected issues related to the use of the design approach in the processes of creating social change. During its preparation, the monographic method, desk research and the source analysis method and comparative analysis were used.
