 Global Context: Globalization and
Sustainability

In today's world, we are more connected than ever before. The concept of globalization refers to the
increasing interconnectedness of people, cultures, and economies across the world. With this
interconnectedness comes new challenges, such as environmental sustainability.

The concept of sustainability is all about creating designs that are eco-friendly and long-lasting. By
considering the environmental impact of materials and manufacturing processes, designers can create
products that minimize waste, reduce energy consumption, and promote sustainable living.

Designers also have an important role to play in addressing other global challenges, such as poverty,
inequality, and climate change. By using innovative thinking and problem-solving skills, designers can come
up with new ideas and solutions that can help make the world a better place.

Through this unit, we will explore the interconnectedness of the world through the lens of globalization and
sustainability, and discover how design can address global challenges.
