Museum of the Future: Climate Change Reimagined marked the fourth year Tellart, in partnership with the Dubai Future Foundation have opened the exhibit at the annual World Government Summit in Dubai. The latest edition of the Museum of the Future addressed the reality of climate change. It presented a future where we not only survived the challenges of climate change in the mid-21st century, but thrived. We proposed three new ideas for how to deal with the consequences of climate change, unveiling imaginative approaches for how the UAE could adapt – and lead – in the future.

The exhibit was set in 2050, and explored a future where society reversed the devastating impact of climate change and developed life-enhancing solutions for humanity. Widely-acknowledged consensus shows how global warming poses a grave and urgent threat. This threat is perhaps most clearly articulated in the disturbing level of temperature increase known as the “human extinction threshold”. During development, Tellart and the Dubai Future Foundation collaborated with climate change experts to understand the difficult challenges that lie ahead. The resulting exhibit re-imagined the three biggest factors contributing to humanity’s ecological footprint – global industry, agriculture, and urbanism – as a means to radically innovate the way we live on Earth.
