606. SUSTAINABILITY 2. Intercontinental Perspectives (México/United Kingdom/ Australia/ Thailand). A panel with Sofía Bosch Gomez, Becky Miller, Ania Karzek and Jett Pisate Virangkabutra.
Sofía Bosch Gomez, Becky Miller, Ania Karzek and Jett Pisate Virangkabutra are designers and researchers working on environmental sustainability. This panel was recorded during the International Design in Government Conference held in Helsinki (2024). The title of the panel was: Transforming Public Services: Intercontinental perspectives to addressing sustainability. This panel is an intercontinental and transdisciplinary discussion on sustainability in the context of the development of public services. The cases presented were on sustainable services related to garbage management, farmers advice to motivate sustainable farming, women security and strategic city planning. We explored the most significant mistakes made, how their projects operate across organizational boundaries, and strategies to support emerging sustainability challenges. Dr. Sofía Bosch Gómez is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Art + Design at Northeastern University's College of Arts, Media, and Design. She is also affiliated with the Burnes Center for Social Change and The GovLab. As a designer and researcher, she explores the intersection of public service innovation, design research, and education.Becky Miller works as a policy and service designer in the UK’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

Before joining UK Civil Service, she worked in small businesses and service organisations including London’s award winning music venue, Union Chapel. Ania Karzek has a Master of Arts in Public Sector Leadership and more years in government than she’d care to count. Ania has worked across a number of disciplines, including water, environment, government reform, social services, child protection and most recently, local government. She has also seen how ‘the other half live’, having worked in the private, university and not for profit sectors in consulting and operational management roles. For several years now, Ania has been championing human-centered technology and data ethics and has pleaded with audiences to think slowly, broadly and deeply about the impacts of their technology choices. A disruptive policy wonk by trade, Ania has a passion for connecting the art of the possible with the care we need to take in making it happen.
