Dezeen has teamed up with design software brand SketchUp to launch a podcast series called Climate Salon, exploring the future of architecture and interior design in relation to the climate.

In this series, Dezeen’s design and environment editor Jennifer Hahn will speak to leading designers, architects and engineers about how they can utilise the tools available to them now to work more sustainably and make a positive impact on the climate.

The series will explore how people can work together across disciplines to achieve sustainability goals in a more meaningful way, as well as how to better educate future designers.
