Creative Boardroom: Collaborate4Climate is a pioneering all-island collaboration supported by the Shared Island Fund at Creative Ireland and delivered by Creative Futures Academy under the auspices of National College of Art & Design (NCAD) and Dún Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology (IADT) in partnership with Institute of Directors Ireland, Institute of Directors Northern Ireland and Forvis Mazars In Ireland. Phase 2 took place in 2025 and into 2026.
Below is testimonial from participants and facilitators delivering the programme.
Phase 2 saw the Collaborate4Climate Exhibition tour the Island of Ireland. Designed using sustainable design principles, and bringing into focus the core challenges for Ireland’s climate responsibilities, the exhibition toured several partner locations through 2025 and into 2026, building awareness and making this story public. It also consisted of the delivery of several design thinking workshops for the Chartered Director community, the release of the ‘Creative Climate Conversations Guide’ and the launch of the inaugural ‘Warming up the Boardroom’ Award at the 2025 SEAI Energy Awards.
