Imagine a life where everything we use is recycled, upcycled and wisely produced and global warming is capped at 1.5 degrees. A gentler life – for you, for future generations and for the planet.
Each tree, building, garment or even a portion of food has a life of its own, an own individual footprint and a life story. We should relearn to respect our belongings and surroundings. We should treat resources with care, not as disposables.
Aalto researchers and designers invite you to explore experiments in planet-friendly materials, fashion, and food.
Visit our three science & design exhibitions that showcase over 20 projects on our campus during 7.9.–12.10.2022. Our two satellite exhibitions are at the centre of Helsinki. See more details below under the three sub themes.
You are also welcome to the open seminars and lectures. See the full programme here.

The 1.5-degree lifestyle is a science-based approach to recommend concrete actions to meet the 1.5-degree target of the Paris Agreement. We have to immediately bring down our carbon dioxide emissions to prevent further global warming and reduce our resource extraction to decrease the threat to biodiversity. Every year, we use 1.7 times more ecological resources than our planet provides.
