The conference Integrating Global South Thinking in Environmental Design offers a reflective exploration of how sustainability is understood and applied within local and regional contexts across the Global South. It addresses the unique environmental challenges faced in these regions and considers how context-specific knowledge, methods, and practices can inform design processes from early concept to construction. The conversation examines the complexities of scaling such approaches responsibly, while navigating structural, cultural, and economic barriers. The session aims to position the insights and experiences from the Global South within a broader, global conversation on sustainable design.
